ABOUT
Make a Big Change - With your Small Change
Siobhan and Becky
Giving just 15p a day could change someone's life forever.
Our campaign
Giving just 15p a day could change someone's life forever. We've spent time in Nairobi, Kenya, and seen children who are desperate for a chance in life, an education, but cannot afford it. By giving our spare change we've been able help send 2 of these children to school. We now want YOU to try to make a BIG change with your small change – for causes both home and abroad. Start saving pennies now, and this could amount to a big difference in someone's life.
Our Campaign highlights
- Speaking at a Channel 4 Battlefront event about the campaign
- Meeting Save the Children
- Making a film about the campaign with the Battlefront film-maker
- Putting on our busking tour of Britian – supported by Danny from Supergrass and Strictly Ballroom dancers, Vincent and Flavia
- Interviewed by Alex Zane on XFM
- Getting over 1000 people pledging to make a big change with their small change

hi gurls. Just wanted to put forward an idea to you as an extension to your pledge campaign. I have one of those empty big plastic candy containers in my room as Im sure many people do in which i keep all my spare change. When people pledge to give their spare change they could get these containers which would have your campaign logo on them and in this all the people who have pledged now also have a way of living up to their pledge without much disruption. The benefit is that these plastic containers would be recycled and so there would not be any further charges to you for the collection of the money. These containers would also get your logo recognised all over the country and if it is well executed many schools, colleges. universities and even companies would take them on and they would provide a constant and easy way to collect all the spare change that people have lying around. I can safely assume there are over 1million people in Britain and if everyone gave 1p, thats a million pound already. ps: I think I might have added this comment twice, my bad!! much luv x

Hey Siobhan and Becky! I've just been checking out your campaign (I'm from the Literary Den Campaign that's in voting right now, so I wanted to see what other people are doing).... those brackets are too wide. Anyway, I was wondering how people actually go about using the "15p a day" to make a change? How can people donate? I might just be missing something on the page.... regardless, I have loads of spare change! I need to get rid of some of it =]
