Christmas Gift Tombola raises over £200
Our ‘gift tombola’ in 2012 was more than double the success of the previous year, raising a total of £207.90. Our thanks go to Roger for being our front man! And equally important, to Sheila and Lisa for some incredibly hard work wrapping presents and folding tickets. -

Pennies roll over the £1500 mark!
When we started the Jam Jar “Every Penny Counts” project, deep down we suspected our target of raising £1000 was a little on the ambitious side.

Gift tombola raises £85
Our ‘gift tombola’ was an outstanding success with the children at the 2011 School Christmas Fayre. The stall was cleaned out in little over an hour, and we raised £85. Many thanks to everyone involved in wrapping such enticing packages, and then for supporting us at the Fayre. -
Thank you to our supporters – your 2011 donations will raise £1000
In January we wrote to our core supporters, and once again they responded generously with one-off donations and regular standing order donations. We want to take this opportunity to publicly thank these supporters – over £1000 is pledged to come into the Friends account from their personal donations. It’s a significant part of our fundraising [...] -
The pennies are adding up!
