Over the winter holidays, we decided to raise money for the SSPCA because they help lots of animals. Originally, we gave out Hama Bead creations in return for a reasonable donation. Unfortunately, we realised not many people were interested. We thought we would try home baking, and we made chocolate chip cookies, and vanilla cupcakes to sell round our neighbourhood. We sold each cookie at 50p each, and each cupcake at £1 each. We raised a grand total of £25 in one afternoon! Once we counted up our money, we sent it off to the SSPCA along with a letter from us. Sharon Meiklejohn, a Senior Community Fundraiser, replied to it, and sent us each certificates too.
