The Big Dress-Up

The Big Dress-Up or the World's Biggest Halloween Dress-Up is based on a similar concept to the highly successful 'World's Biggest Coffee Morning', where over 50,000 people took part in individual coffee mornings on the same day, raising £7.5M for Macmillan last year, with an even higher target this year. With the World's Biggest Halloween Dress-Up children and adults all over the country will be dressing up for Halloween and other events around this time. The money raised goes to individual schools and charities and simply comes from the Fancy Dress costumes bought from us for the occasion. We donate 10% of the amounts paid for costumes and accessories between now and 31st October 2008 to the cause chosen by the purchaser. Many people will have been given a voucher code by a school or charity they support. But even if you have not been given a code, you can still help others by choosing one of the charities listed opposite and entrering the corresponding code when you check out on the web site. The code will take 1p off your order total and cause 10% of the amount you spend on costumes or accessories to go to your chosen fund. Just click one of the categories on the menu on the left of this page to start shopping and raising funds!	Charity Name	CODE

Join in the World's Biggest Halloween Dress-Up and Raise Funds for your School or Chosen Charity. And if no-one has time to organise a party, don't worry - you can still earn cash for your school or charity without doing anything! You may be aware of The World's Biggest Coffee Morning, where over 50,000 people took part in individual coffee mornings on the same day and raised £7.5M for Macmillan last year. The World's Biggest Halloween Dress-Up is a similar concept, but the money raised goes to your own cause and comes from the Fancy Dress costumes bought for the occasion. So in fact you can take part even if you don't hold a centrally organised event. All you have to do is give out the letters we provide telling parents about the World's Biggest Halloween Dress-Up and the web site to go to to buy their costumes. They buy the costumes themselves, then we donate 10% of the price of each costume purchased to your school or chosen charity. Of course holding a fancy dress Halloween party, disco or other event is a great way to encourage everyone to buy costumes that will raise funds for your school or charity, and gives you the chance to raise extra funds too with entrance fees or snacks. Or you could hold a fancy dress non-uniform day on the last day before half term, or on Halloween itself (October 31st) if you are not on half term then. You could even encourage parents to suggest fancy dress days at work to raise more funds for school, or to hold Halloween parties at home - all in fund-raising fancy dress of course. Since Halloween is a Friday this year it's particularly suitable for festivities, in the day time or in the evening. Whether you hold an event or not, we provide you with the letter to hand out at school. But remember, you'll need to hand out the letters as soon as possible to allow your children and their families - and teachers too! - to choose their costumes and have them delivered in time to wear them at Halloween..
