Materials to help you fundraise
We have various fundraising materials to help you in store and you can order these from our

collection tins, collection buckets and pin badges
Please note all materials have a cost attached to them so only order what you need for your
store.
Send us your stories and photos
We want to hear about your ‘Flower Power’ fundraising activities. Share any interesting
stories with us, how much did your store raise? Did an event or fundraising activity go better
than you had hoped? What are your future fundraising plans?
It would be great to see any photos from your events. Why not be creative and make them
as original as possible, with people wearing comedy items or action shots going on in store.
Get the partnership logo in the shot where possible. Can we ask that you use a camera that
can take high-res shots – unfortunately images taken on camera phones are often too low
quality to use.
Shout out about your fundraising on Yammer – make sure you tag Alzheimer’s Society in
your post so that we can see what you’ve been up to.
Send your photos to us at [email protected].
A great way of sharing your photos with other stores and to show all the brilliant fundraising
you are doing!
Please remember to obtain line manager approval for all fundraising activity.
