A Wonderful Christmas Time

The festive season is nearly upon us and there is no better way to get into the spirit of things than a bit of music and a mince pie.

  • About

    'A Wonderful Christmas Time' will be a yule tide charity concert that promises to get you into the spirit of Christmas. Taking place at Christ Church Chelsea, Wednesday 21st December at 7.00pm, the evening will  feature a professional consort of singers and my junior choir singing a selection of traditional festive pieces. There will of course also be mulled wine, mince pies and a raffle with some very tempting prizes.

    And it's all for a fantastic cause - all proceeds from the evening will go to Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research.

    So bring yourselves and your loved ones along for what promises to be a wonderful evening. You can book your tickets at eventbrite.com and advance booking will get you a discount.

    This event takes place at Christ Church in Chelsea and tickets can be purchased either in advance or on the door. Tickets will be slightly more expensive on the door.

  • Raise money

    A great way to boost your fundraising if you're doing a sponsored event is to raise money online.

    Setting up an online giving page with JustGiving or Virgin Money Giving is a great way to raise money, enabling people to sponsor you really easily. All you need to do is visit the site, select Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research as your charity and then create your page. You can then personalise it with photos and messages and send the link to everyone you know.

    Use social networking websites

    A great way to increase awareness of your event is to add details to your social networking site; be it Facebook, Twitter or MySpace. It's even possible now to link these sites directly to your online giving page, making it even simpler for people to donate. Another way to inspire people, and raise awareness, is to blog about how your preparation is going. If people see the amount of time you're committing, and why you're doing your event, then they'll be more likely to dig deep!

    Email your family and friends

    Target your most generous supporters first. People tend to match the amounts already listed on the page.

    Be persistent

    Try re-sending the link to your page one week before the event to get some last minute sponsors. Then send it one more time once you've done the event - it's never too late!

    Raise money while you shop

    If you shop online, you can raise money for us simply by signing up with easyfundraising. Visit your favourite online retailers through this site and they will donate a percentage of your purchase to us at no extra cost to you!
