Since Jaunary the appeal has gathererd a real head of steam. The leaders have all been actively seeking out a wide varieity of ways to raise funds.
Some notable successes have been:
DDSSP Dance Show where priamry school childrn took part. We sold tickets to parents and made refreshments and raised £500.
Brooke and Nickorganised a fantastic 70th birthday night for her Grandad Eddie which ended up raising around £700.
We helped out at a boot fair at St edmunds bringing in £400.
Nick has had a fantastic month with a tag day at DGSB and St Richards and has raised about £1200.
We also helped out at Fowlmead for Sports relief and raised about £300.
We were alo very proud to be receiving £1400 from the Hugh & Montague Leney trust. which completed an application form and then a group of leaders attedned an interview and presetation. We were delighted to receive a letter from the trustees notifying us of the ward. This has not yet been added to the toal. We will receive it in June.
Finally, we now have 12 schools in the DDSSP who have linked up with the project and are 'sponsoring' a team out in Zambia. We have fundraisinf days planned with St Martins in Dover already rasinf £850 for us -which is amazing!
January 2010
A good start to the year with Lauren adding £425 to the pot and Pete and John organised a 'Wine & Wisdom' at Castle Community College which raised £511. We've also completed some funding applications and should receive a response in the middle of February. We've done really well so far but with about 6 months to go the project now needs to build up momentum.
Also in January St martins primary School have raised £350 for us. They would like to be a link school for one of the schools in Zambia. We also raised about £600 at the Dance Show.
