Hello, in light of recent Scottish events, me and my friend are planning to raise some money for the organisations involved such as Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Scottish Ambulance Service and the Police Roll of Honour. Has anyone got any ideas on how to raise as much money as possible (they can be as crazy as you wish)

 

Thanks in advance. 

Selling candy bars might work

As far as the Fire Department goes, fill the boot campaigns always seem to be quite popular.

Sell all your stuff, that's what I do when I don't want it anymore

Can I ask what 'Fill the Boot' is?

Nothing wrong with giving some things up for a good cause.

My thoughts exactly, It is terrible what happened, just 5 minutes from where I stay as well. A lot of people affected

Fill the boot is a fundraising campaigns that fire departments around the US do to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Basically you stand on a busy street with fire boots and as people drive by, they drop some change or dollars in the boot.

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't think that would work over here in Scotland really. But thanks anyway

Something that you could do is ask at your local supermarket if you can do bag packing. That's how we got the funds for our P7 camp.

There are 100s of ways, Do an walk run day, where you advertise people to come and have an walk and run day, like an 10k run.

Here in oz down under, we do it to. Well I have seen it once that was 4 years ago or more. and that it's easy to do just say Hey MONEY PLS, just don't get run over by an car

SO they like become a tollboth per say

Except a) toll booths are optional and b) that's not at all what "per se" (not "per say") means (what it means is basically that something inherently has some property: driving with a BAC above .08% is considered intoxicated and so is illegal per se, regardless of whether you are meaningfully impaired; the other usage is pretty much only in negative contexts [claiming something is not the case], at which point it essentially is interchangeable with "as such"). It'd actually be more correct to say that "fill the boot" isn't a toll booth per se, but has some similarities.

Toll booths are not optional per se, but you could just drive through one without paying.

 

(I'm pretty sure that was a typo, but it is a typo that makes you say the complete opposite of what you mean).

Indeed it was a typo. I meant "aren't", but must have lost it in revising the post.

Thanks for clearing that up me CP, I just got a bit confused. but the 'fill the boot' dose seem like a good idea
