The FSI helped over 400 small charities to raise over £72,000 for their causes without cost to them by giving their supporters the chance to win a Fiat 500, kindly donated by Zurich Insurance. Supporters bought £2 tickets on- or off-line to be in with a chance of winning the car while the small charity received a whopping 95.2% of every ticket sold.
