Fat Bottomed Girls

WE DID IT!! BUT PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY STILL...

 

Us fat and slim bottomed boys and girls.. peddaled 54 miles for The Brandon Trust in the London to Brightong ride on 11th September.

Thanks for visiting our team fundraising page. We cycled for a cause we'd love for you to support. It's a charity that helps young people with learning disabilities to learn life skills and live the life they want to lead.

UPDATE: ALTHOUGH SOME OF US HAVE HIT OUR INDIVIDUAL TARGETS,  LET'S KEEP GOING!! 

EVERY £, $ OR EURO COUNTS FROM HERE ON.

BRANDON TRUST NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT

 

So, dear lovely, generous friends and colleagues,

HERE’S WHAT BRANDON TRUST COULD DO (SIMPLES!)

The Funds raised from this event will be spent where there is the greatest need, for example;

£10 could buy tools for our employment and training project where people get training and skills in gardening and horticulture

£15 could buy utensils for one of our catering projects

£20 could buy 3 hours of one to one support from a Travel Buddy; enabling individuals to gain the skills and confidence to travel on public transport, overcoming isolation and building confidence and self esteem

£50 could buy arts and crafts materials enabling creative activities that encourage self- expression and develop social skills 

£75 could buy 7 hours of additional support to enable an individual to get out and about and participate in social activities within their local community

£100 could pay for one day at our Summer Camp for a young person, where they will gain independence and self confidence, make new friends and learn about choices in the transition into adulthood

£120 could buy a digital camera designed around the needs of people with learning disabilities

 

 

Please dig deep people, our team needs to raise as much as it can and we're asking you to please give a little or a lot to help us smash our target to give young people with learning difficulties employment and life skills to live their lives how they want to!!

 ___________________________

This less than elite team of fat bottomed girls and boys are getting the public fundraising started for the Brandon Trust (www.brandontrust.org) by doing the London to Brighton cycle ride on 11th September 2011. It's a fun challenge, apparently. Though we don't think we'll be laughing after 54 miles in the saddle. (page author thinks to herself: must do some training soon!)

 

PLEASE DONATE NOW... or read on if you're not convinced already. Some extra reasons to give:

 

1. GIVE WHAT YOU CAN, even a QUID or FIVER would help train a young person with learning difficulties to learn catering skills or join a summer camp (see below) 

 

2. AND it would make our saddle sores more bearable!

 

3. And we had to wear a PINK t-shirt for the ride, yukkkk!

 

4. You can make such a difference to this great charity! 

 

As a team we've smashed our target, but that doesn't mean your support isn't vital. PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY.  

 

 

 

"The range of opportunities and life changing circumstances [Brandon Trust] has managed for individuals with a disability is more than creditable and remarkable" 

Jo Brand – wise words from she what makes you laugh and quite probably doesn’t cycle

Their funding is always at risk from government cuts so they're relying on public support to keep up the good work: 

So please dig deep and DONATE NOW!

Thanks for your time and support
