Ok, so last thursday the leaflets came - it turned out the nice printer people did over 1000 and decided to just carry on until the box was full, which was nice! The leaflets look so professional and I am really pleased with how they have turned out. I have started handing them out to people in school but so far nothing in the way of donations has happened.. However, each year, me and my family go to the local pubs where my community (The Five Parishes) all join together and sing carols. It's such a good part of Christmas for me and I've taken this as an opportunity to hand more leaflets out and let them all know what's going on in my life! Last night was the first pub carols and this old friend of mine just took out £20 from his pocket and gave it to me - he was also Scottish, so I suggested we put my ceilidhing skills to the test!
I will also be going to Church on Sunday to give a small talk about what I'm doing next year to the congregation and then another, more in depth talk on the third Sunday of January - I'll be handing out leaflets in both of these! I am quite confident the people in The Five Parishes will support me as I've known them all for most of my life and they all know me quite well, be it in the form of spontaneous donations or sponsering for events and things.
