I organised a couple of sponsored busks for our Lions Group in Uxbridge. We used to cadge unbooked costumes from the local hire shop - mainly a lion and Mr Blobby. Lovely local folkies donated the time and the georgeous Leadfingers provided PA equipment. I think we all enjoyed it and managed to a few hundred pounds each time.

You will need a good site though. We did our busks in a shopping centre in Uxbridge.

Another good fundraiser I've found is to do a recipe book to sell. There's always folk around who would be willing to donate recipes and they sell like hotcakes.

Good luck
