It's all for charidee!

Red Nose Day is here!

Charity Organiser Comic Relief (http://www.comicrelief.com/) raises millions of pounds from this biannual event with the proceeds going towards projects here in the UK and Africa for the reduction and relief of the effects of poverty. Even small amounts of money can make a difference to disadvantaged people supported by this charity.
However, in 2009, the effects of the economical downturn in the UK are a worry not only to Comic Relief but to all charities in the UK.
People do not necessarily have the levels of disposable income in previous years and the hit on donations to charities is likely to be hardest.
Take That member Gary Barlow reiterated the need in this particular year for an even harder effort towards fund raising, hence his idea of the (now successful) climb of Mount Kilimanjaro. People need way more enticing to part with their cash!

There is no reason whatsoever why people and organisations cannot use the Spareground website to raise money for charities and other fund raising causes.
Create your listing and put the term “charity” or “fund raising” in the description. Add in what it’s for and see what happens. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Schools, clubs, churches etc who have parking facilities for example can raise money by leasing out their parking spaces over weekends or evenings. This would be particularly welcome when they are in busy areas (city centres, airports, train stations etc) or close to major sports, music or recreational events.

So if you have the space, whether it is parking, storage, land, unused gardens or other accommodation, make some money for charity and other fund raising efforts by listing it free of charge on Spareground.
