I am really grateful and incredibly lucky to have received the support of the Seaton Lions Club. After writing to the Seaton Lions Club and receiving a reply I was invited to give a talk about Project Trust and the things I would be doing in India as part of the Project.
After meeting the members I was given a £500 donation cheque towards helping me reach my fundraising goal. The link for the article and to read about the other brilliant things the Lions Club do to support the community can be found below.

A teeny weenie table top and some more donations!
Colyford Hall Sunday 27th July - I would like to thank my Granny Emmie for her morning spent at the table top sale, all of which gathered £15 in donations, of which I am very grateful for.
Sales of goods donated - Thanks to Granny Betty and Ted and everyone who has donated second hand goods; from advertising in the paper and selling the items we have been able to raise £151.
Thank you to everyone who supported us, and are continuing to donate items to be sold on.
On a separate occasion family friends have also bought goods taken from Granny Betty and Teds table top sales totalling another £127!
Once again, thank you for everyone's unbelievable support!

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!
Thanks again, Abbie!
