Crunch fundraiser brings in the cash!

posted: 11/12/2009

A massive thank you to everyone who made the
World AIDS Day fundraiser at Crunch Bar such a success. The event raised over £550 in aid of George House Trust, with money still coming in!

The night was a collaboration between Nice 'n' Naughty and Crunch and wouldn't have been possible without the hard work and great fundraising skills of our volunteer, Lee Botham.

We're a small charity. No amount of money raised is ever too small. Every penny counts. Most of our funding comes with strings attached. Fundraised money means we can be quicker to respond to urgent needs and changing demands.

BRIGHT IDEAS is our new Do It Yourself Fundraising Pack - packed with lots of ideas and it also has a handy full size poster on the back to help you promote your event. You can download the pack from our website or if you'd prefer a paper copy or want to talk through your ideas, please get in touch: laura@ght.org.uk
