Fund raising is a couple of words that are close to the hearts of many clubs as cash always helps clubs develop and therefore provide better facilities for the kids playing and the parents who support the club itself.

With Christmas fast approaching now is the time to take advantage and look to provide products that you can sell to help your clubs fund raising efforts.

I've recently been in contact with a gentleman who specialises in proving fund raising products to soccer clubs in the UK and worldwide.

Harry Childs is the brain behind Socco the Fund Raising Football Bear!

He is one of four products, the others being, key ring bears, printed mugs and printed mouse mats, that could form your own clubs MEMORABILIA COLLECTION of products that you could sell, without risk, to raise funds for your football club.

When it comes to using individually designed products to raise funds, most Junior Football/Soccer Clubs, particularly those with just a few teams, understandably steer well clear for fear of getting left with stock that they are unable to sell.

However, Harry's business operates to benefit the clubs so the are not left with products they can't sell and out of pocket.

After consultation on design and having the opportunity to agree proofs, you are supplied with an actual sample of each product, posters, promotional material and simple individual product order forms.

You collect the money when people order and only order the required numbers of Socco the Football Bear and the other products that you need to fulfil the orders.

There is no risk – you carry no stock and you make a minimum of £1 per item. AND they do ship worldwide (contact Harry for more details)

The MEMORABILIA COLLECTION can be used for a specific fund raising event or over a longer period.
