A regular lunch event is a great way to raise money, or selling food from around the world adds to any fundraising event.
Choose a day or date each month, and hold a special fundraising lunch with your friends and family.
It could be at your house or the house of a friend or family member, in the kitchen at work, or in a local community or parish hall
Put up posters advertising the lunch and remember to let everyone know that it happens once a month.
The, take it in turns with family, friends and colleagues to make enough for everyone to share.
Once you have collected the money from the lunch, send it in every few months to the main CAFOD office in Brixton (if you are doing this as part of livesimply, please include a note stating which promise you have signed up for)
And finally remember - experiment, have fun and enjoy the time together
