Twickenham mother sticking to her charitable plan
A single mother from Twickenham has set herself an ambitious challenge - to launch a new business and use it to raise £50,000 for charity over the next year.
Sue Burton, 46, of Gothic Road, is currently in the process of launching the ‘peel 2 save’ product. Peel 2 save is a booklet containing discount vouchers that will be distributed in the Richmond and Twickenham area and, Ms Burton intends to donate 50 per cent of every sale to local charities.
She said: “The card will be sold by charities and non-profit organisations, they will do the sales drive selling it for £10 and the charity then gets 50 per cent of that.
“It seemed like such an easy way to give people something back.“ The pocket-sized card is filled with 64 stickers each offering a different discount deal at a local restaurant, bar or business.
Businesses can put their offers in the booklet for free and customers then exchange the stickers for anything from two for one deals to free coffee with their meals.
Miss Burton said: “There will be up to £300 worth of savings on meals etc [in each booklet].
“It would be filled with local businesses at no cost to them, and also the charity would receive money from the card sale whether it’s a school, charity, sports club or other non-profit making organisation.”
The entrepreneurial mother said she was inspired to launch Peel 2 save card after seeing how successful the American franchise had been when it launched in the UK, in Solihull, earlier this year.
She said she wanted to have a job where she would be able to work while her six-year-old daughter Grace was at school and still be there to drop her off and pick her up everyday, while doing something good for the community.
Miss Burton, whose daughter attends St James’ Catholic School, Twickenham, added that as a parent she had seen how hard fundraising for non-profit making organisations could be and thought selling these cards could be something all the students could get involved with while raising funds for a good cause.
She added: “My aim is for the local charities in this area to benefit, my goal is to raise £50,000 in a year.”
Anyone who is interested in selling the card or advertising in it should email Miss Burton at burtonsm@hotmail.com.

Genuine value
For $20, the cardholder gets $35 in discounts at each of the official online stores of all five big leagues—NFL®, NBA®, NHL®, NASCAR® and Major League Baseball®. These are authentic, team-logoed items that sports fans are buying already.Easy to sell, everywhere in the U.S.
The card pays for itself in as little as one purchase, and fans who shop all five stores can save as much as $175. Sellers can e-mail, Facebook and call out-of-state relatives, because the card is good in every state. In fact, teams selling the cards are averaging 10 per athlete, and approximately one-third of those are being sold to out-of-town family and friends because the cards are lightweight and easy to mail, and they work everywhere in the U.S. The card is an oversized plastic card designed for “card in hand” sales, which cuts the fundraising legwork in half. Rather than taking orders, collecting money and returning later to deliver the cards, sellers complete the sale and hand over the product on the spot.Big profits for school teams, without the risk
School teams can earn as much as $10 per card they sell, and they can return any unsold product. “Card in hand” sales outperform order form sales.“JustFundraising is a national fundraising distributor with a strong presence in high school athletics, which is a natural fit for a fundraising product featuring the major leagues. In fact, while we are positioning this fundraising product for any group, it is exceptionally effective for high school athletics and youth sports for fundraising,” said Chuck Moxley, president of Ideaology Partners, the company that created the ProShop Savings Card. “Interest is strong and we anticipate it to increase even more during the fall and winter sports seasons.
