Why do we need to raise funds?

  1. To benefit good causes locally or around the world, and share a real sense of achievement from helping others.
  2. Supplement membership subscriptions to help provide extra activities for our young members.
  3. Pay for everyday running costs (heating, lighting, rates, council tax, etc).
  4. Pay for maintenance of hall, facilities, minibus, equipment and grounds.
  5. Special campaigns.

How do we raise money and what can you do to help?

    Do you know anyone or group that need a venue to meet regularly or occasionally?

  • Social events sometimes raise funds as spin off from main activity – tombola/raffle/cloakroom tickets, quiz, BBQ, treasure hunt etc.
