Fundraising for the Furzedown Project

Bob Broad gets on his bike once again to fund-raise for the Project

 

Bob is raising funds specifically for the Project’s exercise classes which help older people to keep fit to remain living independently at home.

Bob will be riding a 46 mile event on July 30th 2017 from the Olympic Stadium at Stratford out into Surrey and back to London, finishing on the Mall.

 Sponsored events

We are very grateful to supporters who have taken on sponsored challenges to raise money for The Project.

Bob Broad and Alan Coles both undertook charity cycle rides in the summer. Read more about their amazing efforts on our News pages HERE

Bob said: “We are very fortunate to have such a charity in the Furzedown area and, as a volunteer driver there on Mondays for the swimming group, I know at first-hand how important it is for the people who go there; for support, exercise, help, and company.”

Local Osteopath, Alan Coles cycled 300 miles in 24 hours from Newcastle to London in August. He also cycled the Tour De France’s 720km Trans Pyrenean Raid in 2012.

 

Fundraising events

Furzedown Annual Charity Events (FACE) has raised money from local quiz nights, sales and raffles to buy things we have needed such as a life-saving defibrillator for the community. 

This vital machine can prevent brain-damage and save the life of someone who has just had a heart attack. It is there for everyone and will be a great asset for the whole community.

They have also recently bought a TV and media centre to help The Project put on talks and have interactive activities.

Thanks to other fundraisers and supporters, such as Graveney School, who have helped make a difference

 

Sales and Raffles

Our members often put on fundraising events, selling home-made cakes, jewellery, crafts (made by our Wednesday craft group) and quality bric-a-brac to raise money.

We’d like to thank everyone in the community who come to our sales, buy raffle tickets and provide gifts to sell or as prizes for our raffle.

 

 

Gifts in memory and legacies

We are thankful for all donations and gifts in memory of loved ones. Please also consider leaving a legacy to The Project in your Will, any amount can make a difference and will help us continue to provide activities, support and friendship for many years to come.

 

As a registered charity we can claim 25% GiftAid from the Inland Revenue on donations from UK tax payers, (although not from Sponsorship or legacies) so a £10 donation is worth £12.50. Please ask the office for details.
