The Good

And the Ugly
There actually wasn't anything ugly...we just couldn't resist this joke!
Fundraising
There were two pieces to the fundraising campaign for YSTV's Children in Need broadcast in 2014; the first was completing the Three Peaks Challenge (and filming it, which involved carrying a lot of heavy equipment), and the second was running around campus in Pudsey onesies and asking people to take selfies with Pudsey. See information under the VT category above for more about the Three Peaks Challenge. The "take a selfie with Pudsey" campaign was relatively successful...it involved a visit to The Glasshouse on Heslington East, and walking around Heslington East, visiting various housing blocks. Most people were willing to take a picture with Pudsey and donate some spare change. In the future, setting up a booth in a heavier-traffic area might be a good idea.
We created a Just Giving fundraising page (https://www.justgiving.com/YSTV-CiN2014/) for the Three Peaks Challenge, and raised £609.
We also created a Just Giving fundraising page for the live broadcast (https://www.justgiving.com/YSTV-Childreninneed2014/), modeled after the one created for the 2013 CiN broadcast. There was some confusion for our viewers with the 2013 Just Giving page, and we received two donations towards the 2014 total on the 2013 page (https://www.justgiving.com/YSTV-ChildrenInNeed/). We raised £90 total, including £15 collected from our adventures around campus in the Pudsey onesies.
The grand total raised was £739 including the two donations to the 2013 page.
Press and Publicity
Facebook and Twitter served as the sole means of publicity for this broadcast. YSTV members shared posts about the Just Giving site and live broadcast through social media, and numerous posts to the YSTV Twitter and Facebook accounts were made in the days leading up to the broadcast, and on the day of.
