WATCH YOUR WELLIES GROW THIS HARVEST

GIVE IT SOME WELLY WITH THESE FUNDRAISING IDEAS
Wellies aren’t just wet weather friends! They can also be a great way to raise money and help farmers in eastern Africa give hunger the boot.
Visit www.farmafrica.org/harvest for resources and ideas to help make your fundraising a success.
FILL YOUR BOOTS!
Swap the collection plate for a collection
boot. Pass a welly around the congregation
or leave a pair at the door to be filled
with spare change. Please ask people to
complete Gift Aid envelopes.
HARVEST MEAL
Bring your congregation together to break
bread in support of communities in eastern
Africa. Why not see what recipes you can
come up with using crops that are grown in
Africa?
WELLY-GOOD CAKES
You could sell welly-shaped biscuits or
Africa-themed cakes after your service or at
a special coffee and cake event.
PUT ON YOUR SUNDAY BEST
Ask your congregation to make a donation and wear
their wellies to church. Don’t forget to take photos
and send them to us!
BOOT-IFUL BOOTS
Get out the glitter, glue and paint and ask your
Sunday school children to decorate their wellies. They
could make them Africa or farming themed! Children
donate to take part and you could exhibit the wellies
afterwards.
BLOOMING BOOTS
Ask your church flower arrangers to
create arrangements of corn, fruit and
seasonal flowers in wellies for your Harvest
service. At the end of the service, or after
your Harvest meal, auction or raffle the
arrangements for Farm Africa.
“It raised a good laugh when the wellies went round
for the collection. Also, the wellies looked effective
on our harvest display topped with flowers, fruit and veg.
A member of the congregation came up and wanted to take
the literature you’d provided and donated a gift for it.”
- Anne Arrowsmith, Church Secretary, Elmwood United Reformed Church
HOWEVER YOU CHOOSE TO FUNDRAISE,
YOU WILL BE HELPING AFRICAN FARMERS
GIVE HUNGER THE BOOT.
HOW AFRICAN FAMILIES
WILL REAP WHAT YOUR
HARVEST FUNDRAISING

“Farm Africa has helped me to uplift my life and
now my family is enjoying the benefits. We thank
people in the UK very much for their support.”
- David, Farmer and Pastor in Kitui, Kenya
“My wife and I faced problems feeding our children. We used to plant seeds
that were not good enough, the old ones would get diseases and did not give
good yields. Now we sow certified seeds that produce more, and we grow
crops that are drought tolerant and well suited to where we live so that even
if the rains are not good we are still able to harvest. We have used our extra
income to pay for my childrens’ education. I have also invested the money
into our farming.
I invited our church members to become involved and now many in our
congregation are members of the farmers group that benefits from Farm
Africa. If I were not in a group I would not have gained the skills that I have
now. I would have carried on the way I was and would have faced many
difficulties.”
Your church can help African families like David’s
to reap the rewards of better harvests. Thank you
so much for your support.
Gift Aid is a great
way to make your
donations worth 25%
more at no extra cost. Please return the
enclosed postcard to request your Gift
Aid envelopes.
