How can our extra curricular club raise money for charity?

One of the things I intend to do in September is to start an extra curricular club for yr 7 and 8 students which will involves them raising money for 3 different causes. We are going to call the club “Action!” as it involve the students getting off their bottoms and doing something.
One thing we will be supporting is the work of two ex-colleagues, Rick Brown and Nancy Defreitas, who are working as volunteers in Argentina. They are working with a charity, Alimentar ensenando, which raises money to help disadvantaged people help themselves. More details can be found on this powerpoint presentation
Some of the money will also be sent to Chrisitan Aid – the students love the idea of buying specific things. Last year my year 7 class had a cake sale to help provide clean water.
We will also look nearer to home for our third cause. Something in the local community would be good.
So why am I posting this? Well, we need some ideas – things that can be done quite easily and which do not depend on the parents of the children always sponsoring them.
Let me know if you can think of anything.
