To the Library we go!

This month, in early August, both my Granny Emmie and Tom joined me as we headed to Exeter Library to seek out the Directorate of Grant Making Trusts Book to enable us to find charities to write to that were willing to help support us in reaching our fundraising goal, and to share my volunteering journey with now and in the future after my return.

Of course... we had to take a coffee break at the Boston Tea Party before... then off we headed for the next 4 hours of (nearly) silence!

Time keeps flying...

This month I would like to say another great big thank you to my grandparents who took the time to take part in another table top sale of which together raised another £125.

Their support and continuing efforts are worth the world and I really appreciate their continuing support.

Also, this week to my excitement we have finally had the addition of a new printer, which, I know to many isn't the most exciting news ever - but the life of letter writing has been made a million times easier!

This month especially has been increasingly busy with work I am finding it difficult to attend all fundraising events and sales however I am looking forward to our next fundraising get together on the 15th of August with the Sixth Form Leavers once we have collected our results!

In the meantime I aim to run a ‘Sweets in the Sweetie Jar’ competition soon. So keep a look out!

Aside to this, I have recently returned from holiday to the fantastic news that the Seaton Lions Club will kindly be making a donation of £500 which will be of such a great help in supporting us in reaching our fundraising total. I really am so grateful for their support and am looking forward to being able to meet and talk to their members about Project Trust and my 8 months placement on the 12th of August.

Thank you for reading,

Take Care,

Abbie

Last months little fundraisers!

So exams have finally come to an end - Hurray! And although June was a very busy month with studying and revision, a few smaller events helped us along nicely.

Tuesday 24th Entertainment - I would like to thank my granddad and those who supported him for his singing and performing of music in front of a small crowd, all of which gathered £50 in donations, of which I am very grateful for. Thank you to those who supported him.

Saturday 28th - Seaton Town Hall. Thanks to my Granny Betty and Ted's efforts, along with having the opportunity to talk to the locals in the community about my volunteering project we were able to raise £78. Thank you to everyone who supported us.

Sunday 29th - Colyford Hall. I would also like to thank my Granny Emmie who took a few items along to the table top sale at Colyford Hall last sunday. Although a quiet morning, we still managed to raise £25 toward our fundraising totals. Every little helps, thank you to those who supported.

Once again, thank you for your continuing support.

Axe Valley Sixth Formers... Results Party Fundraiser!

For all of those in those Sixth Form at Axe Valley, collecting results on August 14th - We are having a fundraising event to celebrate finishing our A-levels, whilst helping to support my fundraising.

Lots of curry, and an Indian food style buffet will be provided... along with a few drinks, and just the general music, dancing, partying, gathering and stay at our house! Will be good to all meet up for one of the last full times after having a few weeks apart!

Will look forward to seeing those who can come, and hopefully we will be able to raise some extra funds toward our fundraising total and have a good time at the same time! Remember... the 15th August!

If in reading this, you know of anyone in Years 12 or 13 at Axe Valley Sixth Form that isn't added to the event, please don't hesitate to pop me a message!

Dad vs Dartmoor!

So Proud of Dad for completing the Dartmoor Classic in 4 hours 58 minutes on this years Dartmoor Classic, the 22nd of June. Not only did he complete the 67 miles in an awesome time especially in the heat, he also won a Silver Medal!!

And on top of all of this, also raised £100 in sponsorship towards our fundraising! Thank you to everyone who sponsored him, supporting us in reaching our fundraising goal!

And of course, good on you Dad - well done!! 

Party in the Park

Today we had a small fundraising stall in the 'Party in the Park' in Seaton. The event was situated in the park next door to the skateboard park. Though there were odd showers of rain the sun still kept coming and the activities were busy catering for children of all ages throughout the afternoon, with many other stalls selling too!

The 'Party in the Park' was hosted by the Seaton Baptist Church and I would like to thank them for such a well organised event and allowing us to be involved. It was nice to see so many locals together and it was good to speak to people about what I would be doing overseas.

Overall we were able to raise £95 towards my fundraising total in the space of two hours.
Thank you to all those who donated and bought cakes and books, it is very much appreciated.

After our two fundraising events and after many generous donations our total is currently, £498! Thanks to everyone for their continuous support.

Gran and Grandad, Aunty Susie and Tom!
