2 Fun draising for JustDifferent Welcome to your easy fundraising guide, with everything you need to get started. You will help change the attitudes towards disability and difference of children and young people across the UK. Thank you! Be Inspired, do something Different A cake bake with a difference: Can the pupils bake a cake and decorate it in an unusual way? Sell them on a cake stall to parents and friends at the end of the day. Remember they will all be cakes, but just made in different ways! A school day with a difference: Ask the pupils to get sponsored to come to school in different clothes; This may be fancy dress or non uniform. Remember you are all the same, but you just look different! Lunchtime with a difference: Why not get the pupils to try feeding each other lunch and ask for sponsorship not to use their hands. Remember you will still be able to eat your dinner...but just in a different way!

3 Just Different album Get the pupils to find photographs of when they once looked different. Put all the photos of the pupils in the book and make a different photo album. Display at your school and ask people to make a donation to see your album. Remember they will all be pictures of you, but you will just look different! Maybe your school would like to choose JustDifferent as their chosen charity! You may have many of your own ideas too. Great! We can t wait to hear what you did and how much you raised. What your money will do! The money you raise will enable JustDifferent to reach more children and young people to learn about disability and difference. Your support will transform the way disabled people are viewed, valued and included in society. I was a bit scared of disabled people but now I know they are really nice Pupil
