The Problem:
Giving fundraising a different spin

The Social Invention:
One day every year could be called "money down the back of the sofa" day when a charity (or charity project such as Children In Need, Comic Relief etc) would ask people to agree to donate any loose change they find behind their sofa. It could be a yearly event or one-off.
