Sportrelief is coming up.
Do you think this is a good idea?
And what do you do for charity?
-
Gordon C., 22, veterinary medicine student
“Yes it is a good idea. Previously I have done fancy dress, raffle-tickets, selling sweets: tuch-ups and other fundraising events. I like to walk the Westhighland Way. It can take about a week to do. I like to do that for Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) or the Greyhound Awareness League.” -
Jane S., 66, pensioner
“Yes. I have done sponsored walks for 25 years. Just recently I participated at the Moonwalk, which was very tiring and took several hours. I do think I’ll retire now from future sponsored walks.” -
Eddie, 49, previous manager of the charity for learning disabled kids HANSEL
“Yes. We give money to charities all the time. We support charities.” -
Support workers James, 39, and Geraldine, 42, with Angus
James: “What is it? I dunno anything about it. But seems to be a good idea.”
Geraldine: “We do charity events like football and other fundraising events. We work at Turning Point, we support people out in their own communities. We are from the project ‘Different or the Same’.” -
Aivaras K., 22,
“It is a good idea. I don’t really have time for that. I work the whole day.” -
Yunis, 20, warehouse assistant
“No. I saw it on TV though. It is a good idea. I don’t know how they raise the money . I don’t think I would do something like that in future.” -
Barbara, 19, architect assistant,
“Yes, it is a good idea. At school we did a stay-awake for Comic Relief. We raised over £1000 pounds. I will give a bit of donation in future. Also, I would like to do a ‘walk on hot coals’ for Comic relief or a children’s charity.”
