Ok so I had a conversation with
Trbay vommunity trust today

And they said that they might be able to help me with this and hold any Grant money for me

It's just an issue of how they would be distributed

So it sounds like the gift bags that I do would have to be separate...(1/2

All in all today was a good day.

It's looking pretty positive that I'll be able to make this a thing

And I am super excited

I love Halloween and I love helping people so this is absolutely the bees knees for mees xD

I have had the zoooombiiieees all afternoon

I talked to the lovely couple at the stem cafe today as well as one of our local counselors

The counselor gave me the details of two other counselors who might be able to help me. I could get a grant for up to 2K to spread this really far

(1/2)

I have created a separate PayPal account.. strictly not for taking donations so I can pay for the gift bag purchases.

And that is where all the money for these gift bags is going to be sent

These will be the expected purchases for next year's Halloween gift bags aside from the "parents treat"

From January 1st I will be saving £50 a month of my own money to make as many of these gift bags as possible

This means by October I should have a budget of £500

I want to make at 50 bags and if this stays an entirely self-funded project I should be able to have a gift card for parents of £5

This year it is my intention to add a parent gift to each gift bag that I make

To this end I want to reach out to my local supermarket champions

Tesco's
Sainsbury's
Asda
Morrison's

I have also reached out to torbay's community trust and sound communities to try and partner with them

Hello everyone and a happy November 2nd

For the past 3 years I've been making gift bags for Halloween instead of dishing out the usual candy

Next year I wanted to try and do something bigger

I'm not a registered charity, but I will be trying to reach out and partner with some and make it work
