Edie’s Garage Sale Trail Success!

10/10/2022

0 Comments

 
Edie's garage sale banner
Eight-year-old Edie Faulker from Angmering was inspired to support Children on the Edge after hearing about children being forced to leave their homes in Ukraine  after the Russian invasion. Edie wanted to raise money to help because she “wants all children to be safe and happy”. Not only did Edie raise an incredible amount of money to support Children on the Edge, she also helped to spread the word about the work of the charity amongst her friends and family. 
Every year, the village where Edie lives, holds a garage sale trail across the whole village. Many villagers set up stalls outside their homes and people are invited to follow the map and see what preloved treasures they can find. Edie decided that she wanted to get involved, and thought it would be the perfect opportunity to support Children on the Edge. 
 
She said, “First, I sorted all of my old toys, books, games and dress-ups. Then I made a large poster advertising all the things I was selling and where the money would go. The night before the sale I baked chocolate chip cookies, chocolate brownies, butterfly cupcakes and sausage rolls. Then on the morning of the sale we brought everything to the front of our house and displayed it on a table ready to sell.”​

Edie’s stall was a huge success and she raised an amazing £140 on the day. Visitors to her stall particularly enjoyed the selection of homemade treats available! 
But Edie didn’t stop there, she decided that she wanted to help spread the word and tell more people about the work of Children on the Edge. So she created a video talking about all of the ways that Children on the Edge supports refugee children around the world and showed it to her friends, family and to her Brownie group. 

After all of Edie’s fantastic fundraising she was given her charities badge at Brownies, which she is very proud of. 
 
Fundraising Officer Annie Whillians said, “We are so grateful to Edie for organising her garage sale stall. She put in a huge amount of effort baking treats and donating her toys and books to help support our work. We loved watching her video about our work and we were delighted to hear that she was awarded her Brownie Charity badge, it was certainly well deserved!” 
 
We love supporting our young fundraisers and helping them achieve their charitable goals. Whether it’s Brownies, Scouts or local football teams, if you or your child are part of any community groups, just get in touch to find out how we can work together and help make a difference. ​
