The clocks go back by one hour this weekend. While some of us will be happy to spend
an extra hour in bed, there are plenty of dynamic fundraisers and supporters who
plan to make the most of those extra 60 minutes.

 

Here are some of the initiatives we’ve come across.

## The Big Hour

 

[The Big Hour](http://www.thebighour.org.uk) is Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity
biggest annual fundraising and awareness event. Between 22-28 October 2012 the charity
is asking people across the country to celebrate the extra hour by baking and then
selling cakes to raise funds for the families it supports.

 

## Warren’s Extra Hour

 

Handmade furniture businessman [Warren Evans](http://www.warrenevans.com/blog/clocks-go-back/?id=18)
is celebrating the extra hour by inviting nominations for charities in London and
Brighton to receive a donation and a day’s volunteering from his team.

 

How is your charity planning to make the most of the extra hour?
