Our cause
"It is our aim to do all things you would love to do but cannot afford, spread some joy and raise a smile, With your kind donation to our cause we pledge to spend all the money gathered in ridiculous, legendary and entertaining endeavours. All adventures must be recorded and broadcast.
Now to explain in a more traditional manner.
Our overall goal over time, is gather and waste over a million pounds by doing ridiculous things that people may want to do, for example, from simply paying for people's shopping to paying off peoples library fines and so on.
In doing this we promise and pledge to spend all donated money on producing a quality entertaining web show. We can not stress enough that we will not spend any donated money to better our own lives, for example we may not invest any of the money in property, businesses or investment companies.
We gathered the funds for our first video "Waste A Million - Pilot Video" and it was uploaded to the internet on the 24th of january. we also gathered the funding between ourselves to pay for t-shirts, business cards and website design.
We are using this video as our pilot to show people what we plan on doing. for the first video we took too the streets of Belfast, we handed out our business cards with money attached to them. This simple act of generosity was able to shock, surprise and bring joy to some people of Belfast.
Please watch our first video to learn more;

The adventure will only be as good as your donations.
Much love,
The WasteAMillion crew
