The Fundraising team often work with organisations that offer a service or product that we feel would be beneficial to Groups. The mailings will usually offer discounts and special offers and prove to be successful amongst the Movement.

Edventure sent a mailing to all Group Scout Leaders/Group Contacts/Cub Scout Leaders in Spring 2003 including a brochure packed full of innovative and fun outdoor and indoor games for children.

Edventure is a direct mail order company, employing no agents, nor selling to the retail trade, and are therefore able to keep their prices low without compromising quality. All products are held in stock and can be delivered within a few days.

The Scout Association and Peeks have been working together for a number of years offering Scout Groups the opportunity to receive Fundraising and Themes catalogues to help them with fundraising and events. Groups also receive a 10% discount on Themes and Christmas Products.

In April 2003 The Scout Association mailed all Group Scout Leader and Group Contacts asking them to fill out a fundraising questionnaire to give us more of an idea as to how the Fundraising Team can help Scout Groups in their fundraising efforts.

By the deadline at the end of May we had a tremendous response with a return rate of 13.5%. (The average for a direct mail campaign is 3-5%).
