These will be given to young performers on the day as well as competition winners and any children making an extra effort for the Fancy Dress Competition.

Following on from the success of Hailsham LIVE 2022, if you didn't already know we're assisting Hailsham Town Council in organising the Hailsham Hailsham's Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebrations which is due to take place on Sunday 5 June 2022.

The day will run from 11am till 8pm.

There will be live music, charity stalls, sports festivities, and other activities. Exact times will be published nearer the time.

It's a time for the community of Hailsham to come together and celebrate 70 years of Her Majesty The Queen's reign. We think this is a pretty special occasion and so we're giving you the opportunity to come and celebrate it with us!

If you're a Charity or Non-Profit Organisation and want to get involved - read on!

We don't think it's enough for you to just be there. We'd love for you to put on some activity for children and adults to engage with. Please have a think about what you'd like to do. Our advice would be to steer away from tombolas for 2 reasons:

- Firstly, it seems to be the go-to activity for most charities, but this means we'd have mostly tombolas and we'd love to offer a varied and exciting range of activities.
- Secondly, running a tombola means you need to ask the community for prizes. If every charity asked local people and businesses for prizes it would over-saturate the prize pot and our local businesses cannot provide for everyone.

There are so many activities to put on that won't cost the earth. Some may need more preparation than others so please have a look at the below links:

*Official Platinum Jubilee Website

*Fundraising Directory

*For more ideas on Fundraising ideas for charity stallholders
https://bit.ly/Fundraising_Ideas

Please do let us know what activity you've settled on, this way we can ensure on a variety of offerings and we can advise you to think again should there be too many of one certain activity. The idea is to make sure the public stay for as long as possible, to engage with you and your charity and, more importantly, raise your profile, your charity's awareness and, hopefully, your funds.
