Fundraising

An update on our fundraising for the trip.

We estimated that the trip, for 8 guys, was going to cost about £3,900.  This includes our airfare (which was £2,689.40), our travel, accommodation, food and day to day expenses.

The 8 guys contributed £2,932, leaving us £968 to raise.

We actually have raised at least £2,233!

The money was raised by the following methods:

  • Slave Auction - £774
  • Sponsored Cycle - £626
  • eBay 4 Albania -  £190 (selling people's unwanted stuff on eBay for them)
  • Cake Sale - £63
  • Gifts - £530
So well done to all of the team for slaving, cycling, eBay'ing and caking our way into solvency!  And thanks to everyone who has supported us with generous donations of their money, skills or unwanted stuff. 

We will have about £1,265 to give away to people and projects in Albania.  This may change as we find we can live more or less cheaply once there.  Anyway, we'll keep you updated on what we do and where the money goes!
