As a Freemason, we are encouraged to help our community in any way we can and lead by example. As a member of the Unity Lodge in Christchurch we want to help a group of at risk young people in the community that need to get back on the right path. We are aiming to raise up to $50,000 to send at least 10 at risk youths on an 21 day outward bound course next year. These teens come from broken homes and have tough lives often getting on the wrong side of the law. Participating in Outward Bound course would give them focus and perspective to decide on their future direction. The experience would develop their confidence and show they can choose better options in life. We are seeking the help of someone who has experience in fundraising, marketing or communications to help develop a plan to kickstart the fundraiser. This could be to set out a fundraising and action plan as well as come up with some great ideas. Any suggestions and input welcome.
