Fundraising Events & Activities at the Blues
As a charity we need to subsidise our income from fees and government funding.
Fundraising money helps us maintain and continually improve the
facilities at the Blues for the children. Last year, some of the items
we were able to purchase through funds raised were a much needed new
kitchen for the home corner, a toy work bench, a small football net and
a new cooker so that children can learn about food; fundraising also
helped us part-fund a new roof for the pre-school and to pay for other
necessary improvements around the building and garden.
Below are our upcoming events and activities at which we hope you will be able to support us - please also note that we have a spend and raise online shopping portal and raise funds through purchases at www.yellowmoon.co.uk (please use our source code SBL1163):
