Fundraising Update 1

Well we have begun our fund-raising. Steve Barlow, a colleague, started the ball rolling with a sale of plants raising £51. Whilst Steve was busy growing and selling his plants we have been agreeing the team logo and developing the flyer. These have been developed with the help of our backroom team, Phil the web wizard and Martin the graphics guru.

Last Saturday we took XTCold along to the Milton Fete. Milton Fete is a traditional celebration of village life complete with Morris Dancers and Pony rides. On our stall we had more plants to sell and a lollipop lucky dip, which the kids loved. The stall was managed by the rest of the back room team, Debbie and Tristan. By the end of the day we had raised a further £72 and many promises of help.

So what next? Well we are hopeful of doing more fetes and two different bands have offered to play charity gigs. There is of course the pledges which have started to come in. And we are hopefully of raising some corporate sponsorship. So with another £9,877 still to go I guess we had better start writing…….
