A few weeks ago i contacted the 'Red Cross Charity shop' to see if it was possible to arrange a visit soon to ask some questions for our project and to just look around to take pictures&get information...we had to make sure we spoke clearly on the phone and explain who we are and why we want to visit, the workers told us it was fine to visit in 2 weeks time...i was first of all nervous because i haven't done anything like this before,but after i got going it turned out fine as the worker was very pleasant :)
today me Holly & Ellie visited the Red Cross charity shop we went in and asked if we could maybe take some pictures and do an interview, the manager agreed and took us to an upstairs office where we sat round a table and he passed us some leaflets which will be useful for us to have. Next we started the interview (which we have filmed and have all the questions provided on that film) and we told him about all the things we would offer to help like getting people in our local schools to donate clothing or areas in which he needs items like toys, games etc... He thought it would be a good idea, then we also talked about sorting through the clothing so all the items we bring will be in good condition to sell, and that we would be putting on a fashion show just to prove how good the clothes are and to maybe help the charity into selling these. Lastly we just asked him some questions about the shop and what red cross does, i learnt that in every emergency the red cross always sends down an extra van which provides clothes and blankets which i thought was quite interesting. It was another successful visit.
preparing for your campaign, visiting local charities to ask/find out how you can help. what prep have you done? research on Red Cross/ Mary Queen of Shops? How has this helped your understanding of what a campaign is and how can you help Red Cross Wymondham gain more donations (of quality?).
ReplyDeleteWhat questions did you prepare - where is video of interview?
