THE Jumble Sale, an amazing £3347raised on the day
Thank you for your wonderful support. Whatever you did to help, it made such a difference to us. Some were there from the very beginning to the very end and others gave what they could and came and went as they were able to. That is all we have ever asked of you so THANK YOU……...
We hope to see the total rise further with recycling, e bay and music magpie sales and matched fundraising from parents. Scouts help others and we were delighted to be able to support some local charities / good causesAND also some in Africa too. Save the date!–Saturday 2ndFebruary 2019.
Matched Fundraising – many employees are unaware it exists, so do ask this week!
It’s not too late to ask your employer if they have a scheme to support their employees giving their time to help others. The paperwork is usually only completed AFTER the event and we are very happy to complete and sign any application forms. Do get in touch if you can raise funds this way.
