In previous years the average raised by students has been £170.

However, if you are confident collector and follow our top tips for London Loot you could raise substantially more!

We follow a simple rule: what goes in your bucket goes to your total!

Your permit allows you to collect between 7am – 7pm, however we’d recommend you take breaks throughout the day!

The key times to collect are during rush hours which are:

• 7-10am
• 12-2pm
• 4-7pm

Permits are pre-allocated to make sure it’s fair; however if you are late to permit handout in the morning, you may lose your permit to someone else!

We do the allocation the night before, so unfortunately we aren’t able to let you know where you’ll be collecting sooner!

• London loot is a fantastic event where you not only have the opportunity to raise money for a fantastic cause but also meet all the wonderful people you will be taking on your summer challenge with.

• Do not worry if you don’t feel confident collecting, we all get nervous. We will be holding how-to sessions before the event as well as sharing all the tips and trick of what to do and not to do in our briefing.

• Anyone is welcome to attend, however, as we can’t cover travel costs, as an Irish student you will need to book your own flights

• In order to make the most of the event, we’d recommend looking into booking an extra night at the Generator and flying back on April 15^th

• We also recommend that you follow the latest government advice in relation to Covid restrictions and safety - https://www.gov.ie/en/campaigns/c36c85-covid-19-coronavirus/

• When you check in on the day, we will ask you if you want to buddy up with another collector for the event and make sure you’re collecting with them!

• Loot is a fantastic social event too! Chat with and get to know people collecting near you, you may even meet people who are taking on your challenge!

If you friend is taking part in your challenge with you, you are more than welcome to buy a ticket for them.

In order to do this you will need their details, and their emergency contact details.
