Hi Steph My name is Carl Brown. I'm a reporter for The East Herts Herald newspaper. Your charity challenge sounds very interesting and I was wondering whether I could chat to you and maybe write a feature about it. I could also give your fundraising some publicity. Call me on 01279 624371 or email [email protected] if you are interested. Thanks!

Funny you got that reply! I friend of mine did the exact same walk about 6 months ago, she featured in her local paper (front page no less) & helped her raise her target amount. I would also advise speaking to the larger stores in hertford Tesco, focus,matalan speak the their H/O and you may get permission to collect outside on a Saturday which will be very fruitfull!

You could try the odd pub too (ask the landlord first obviously). I'm sure one or two will be helpful and it's amazing how generous people can be after a pint or two. [:0]

Depending on when in September you are doing the walk you could ask to collect at HRFC (normally have some generous supporters)Contact the Director of Marketing numbers on http://www.hertfordrfc.co.uk

Hi sloopjohnb...I couldn't find your email address on the profile page (sorry!). But your idea to raise money in Bircherley Green sounds great and I'd really appreiciate it if you could put me in touch with the site manager. Do you think you could email me at stephclegg{at}yahoo.com and I can mail you back with my contact details? Thanks Steph. Edited by Admin to prevent harvesting of email address

Do you need a licence to collect money in a public place/street? Best to check first.

I believe you do. Certainly when its come to Carol Singing for Isabel House Hospice, even though our fellow "carolers" were management in Tesco, we still had to make sure we had a) permission from the store we stood outside of and I do believe if you go house to house or on the public highway or pavement you must have some sort of licence for insurance purposes. Its why you never see carol singing door to door now! Best to make sure before your money goes up the spout!
