Failed Woodrow

Our Campaign Failed!

Part of our campaign was at the school and we did not get a single donation. Our explanations are that we did not push hard enough to the students in forms or assemblies. I think most, if not all, of the students were unaware of this event and this is because we didn't do enough to ensure they were aware.

Another explanation is that the students of the school, to put it bluntly, do not care much for charities in Wymondham. This gave us a new idea. Most of the teachers in the school have children, and most children have too many toys. Since it is nearly Christmas, we thought a good clearout for the charity shops should do the job!

Come back soon to see if this idea works

Woodrow In Need

 

The Charity, ‘Children In Need’ is a British phenomenon and has had inspiration from 1927 and the main idea has been unchanged throughout this time. Although it was originally on radio, it is still a telethon (on the television all day) and still raises money for less fortunate children. Last year, they raised £39,000,000 and this year they are hoping to get even more. This money is then distributed between children’s charities all over Britain. The charity is open to donations from everyone so does not have a particular target audience. They use television to get people to donate, but also give away free fundraising packs to get others people to donate outside of the studio. The success of the charity is amazing, in the first radioed broadcast of children in need only got about £1,000, that’s still a lot, but it’s done well to get up to £39,000,000 and still getting more.

Vet Woodrow

Today, we went to town for our Artefact and Campaign units. During Campaign we spoke to the manager of the Vetinary Health Centre and asked about the equipment that they use, the shops opening and other background information for our shoes. They had many needles and pins to use in operations and x-ray machines that were used to find the problem. We have pictures of all these aswel as the operation tables and even some of the animals! The photos will be on the blog when they have been transfered onto the computer.
