Dear RSPCA,
                                                I am writing to inform you of the progress that we (the Wymondham High Creative and Media Students) have made for so far.

Since meeting with you we have been working extremely hard to raise awareness for the RSPCA charity around the school. So far we have made posters and leaflets which we have placed around school. Since you are an animal charity we decided to put a picture of a dog the posters and leaflets.

We have also raised awareness by doing a workshop and two performances at
Browick Road
infant school to get them to understand about the purpose of Charity shops, charity and how to donate. Many of the year 2’s said that they would try to donate more in the next few weeks before Christmas so I hope that you get donations from them or more of them visiting your shop.

Even though we tried our hardest the campaign is not going as well as we thought it would so we don’t have as many donations for you as we would have liked but we still managed to raise awareness about the RSPCA, donating and your shop.

We have also filmed a T.V advert which we will shown through out forms in the school after Christmas.


Thank you very much for allowing us to work with you to make more money for local animals.

Yours Faithfully
Laura Frosdick,
Beth Cooper,
Ryan McGee,

And Ross Crichton.


Be able to prepare a campain

To persuade our target audience to take notice of our campain we made posters and leaflets with information on how to donate to the charity which you can see on one of my earlier posts.We also made a T.V advert to raise awarness for our chosen charity which will be shown in forms around the shcool after christmas.We also tried to target younger people by going to Browick Road infant school and doing two performances and a workshop  about sharing,charity and donating.

Be able to moniter the preparation and conduct of a campain

We didnt succeed in getting any donations for the our charity so we failed in that area but we did succeed in raising awarness  for the charity shop and about how little donations they get that arent junk.I do think we could have improved our posters asking people to donate by put more information on it about the charity and explain how they would be helping the charity.

Our areas for improvment would be letting more people  know about our campain and why we were doing it we could have used our posters and T.V ad to do this.We could have also done an assembly or sent a letter out to tell people what we needed.

To alter my intentions to achieve my aim I will need to widend the publicity for the campain by possibly produsing a new poster and leaflet with more information and mabye targeting more people mabte outside of school to try and gain donations.



Through out the project I learnt alot and now the project is coming to a close I can look back and reflect on what i have learnt.At the start of the diploma I didnt know much about campains or blogs or charity shops but  the time I have been doing my diploma  I have learnt alot like about how to set up a blog and how to do different things on that then I learnt about charity shops an was surprised about how little amount of donations the charity shops get they can actually use.I also learnt about different ideas on how to advertise a product or campain.I havent just learnt this I have learnt much more than just this but if I typed all of what I learnt out I would be here for ages so I am not going to. In the future if I get a job in media I will be able to put the skills I have learnt to good use but even before the future I can use these skills in every day calsswork wich will help me through year 10.


Overall I have really enjoyed organising a campain even if it could get stress full at times. But I didnt enjoy it just for me I enjoyed it mostly because I knew that I was helping someone who needed it.
