The Rucksack Bus Funding

Evening everyone,

Well what a response! We have almost 400 likes on our page so far, thank you so much everyone. Do please keep sharing though, we'd love to reach as far and wide as we can. 
 
Just a reminder, you can find us here - 
Facebook,Twitter - @thebusrucksack and any queries you can email us at thebusrucksackproject@hotmail.com

THE BUS is due to arrive in a few weeks and has been very kindly donated by Stagecoach - we are very excited!  We also have a home for THE BUS while she's being refitted.
 
We have a sponsor too, which is excellent news!  Rich's in Fareham are kindly sponsoring us and they have the same values as all of us following and supporting THE BUS.
 
What we need now is a good start with the crowd funding.  Now we knew this project wouldn't come cheaply and we know it's a tricky subject as we've never asked for money before at our Rucksack Events, but we need your help!

We have a crowd funding page set up with some generous donations already, but we need to make some further headway with this. We know money is tight in all corners, so we're not asking for a lot, maybe a couple of pounds each - but what a difference that would make! You can find our fundraising page 
here ðŸ’œ 

Don't forget, if you leave your name when you make a direct donation, we'll add your name on THE BUS!

If you don't have the funds right now, thats not a problem at all, but would you considered holding a fundraiser for us please? A cake/bake sale at work or school, a tuck shop at your desk and donate the funds to THE BUS? Asking your children's school to hold a non school uniform day with the proceeds being donated? Anything really! Even if you ask all your team mates/ work mates/ friends to give you £1 each, think of how much that could amount to! 

Any ideas you have, do let us know, and any spare funds you find - you know what to do! 😉

Thank you all massively in advance.  Portsmouth is one hell of a community, you guys pull it out the bag every year for the Rucksack Event - please help us make this project just as successful. 

TTFN, Sammy and Jo xx
