The Big Issue – Big Job Done!
If you’ve been following my blog you cannot fail to have noticed that The Money Gym has been organising a property extravanganza to a) share information abut different ways of investing in property and b) raising money for The Big Issue.
We planned to sell 200 tickets for the event last Saturday, raising £4,500.
So how did we do????
Well, all 200 tickets were sold. We knew that some people bought tickets as donations in the full knowledge that they wouldn’t be able to attend the event so when we had a queue of people who showed up on the day without tickets – we collected even more donations and put more bums on seats!!!
It was a full house, the speakers were fantastic, the audience was inspired, the Money Gym team were exhausted and exhilarated in equal measure.
And The Big Issue – well exact figures are still coming in but it looks like they will be over £6,000 pounds better off as a result of this day.
Can you think of a better example of socially aware capitalism in action?
