We were asked by Marie Curie Cancer Care to help them with the Mini Pots of Care fund raising campaign. The campaign was designed to encourage children in Nursery, Primary and Infant Schools to sponsor the growth of a 'daffodil' from bulb to flower and to raise much needed funds for Marie Curie's work, and has been running yearly since 2006 to present day.
Each primary school child receives a daffodil bulb, pot label, plant label, pot wrap that could bear a unique design, and a donation envelope. The teachers received instructions and posters. The children are taught how to plant the bulbs, watch its growth and record it stage by stage.
We were asked to pack and collate all items for each class that requested a number of kits, with some schools having 6 or more kits. Each kit contained the correct amount for pupils participating in the particular class.
Data of names, addresses and quantities required by each participating school was received by IMI and packed accordingly. These were delivered into local despatch depots and distributed around the country.
The campaign response greatly exceeds the client's expectations each year.
