Each region has been given their own target to reach by 2008 (this has been based on the number of consultants in each region). There will be two winning regions: 

- the top fundraising region per consultant, and 

- the top fundraising region.

In July, each RM will nominate one person from their region to be put forward to a panel of judges to win this year’s trip to . Nominations will be based on commitment as well as achievement, and not just on amounts raised.

There will be a mid-year target of £70,000 to be reached by Conference, with the final £30,000 to be raised by Seminar 2008.

We are asking you to continue fundraising through your parties and other means – your COTE Champions are there to help and advise, so brainstorm any ideas you have with them – and don’t forget to build your businesses at the same time.

Finally, to make your life even easier, all money raised will be banked via this regional JustGiving website – set-up and managed by your regional Champion.
