The Water Run

The Water Run, One of our volunteers Ollie Mason is setting out on a mission to raise awareness and money for for 3 charities... one of these charities is us. It's going to be a great fundraising event that will hopefully reach thousands and show the conditions people live in throughout the world. Goto www.thewaterrun.com to find out more...

'Colour Me Beautiful' fund raising event.

On 25 March, 20 ladies gathered together for an afternoon of fun and indulgence to help to raise some much needed funds for BKF.

Following a warm welcome and introductions by Esther we had a very enjoyable light hearted presentation from Jenny Hogg. Jenny had a lot to contend with as she somehow brought out the youth in us and with 20 giggly middle aged ladies in tow she did extremely well to get through it and retain her sanity. I am sure we were not the best
behaved group she has ever worked with but she had to admit it was 'Fun'.

The best was yet to come when Liz and her friends proceeded to bring out the delicious treats they had kindly made for us and we got to savour some mouth watering home made cakes which were very moorish. But the real icing on the cake was when it was announced that we had raised £227.50, just from having some fun together.

Mold Street Party, fundraising event

On the day of the Royal Wedding while most sensible people were still in their beds, 7 volunteers set out bright and early to arrange their display boards and stall ready for the start of the Mold fun day. We were extremely grateful for the good weather as many Job's comforters had taken pleasure in telling us "the weather over the w.e. is going
to be cold and wet". So when we arrived in the town we quickly positioned ourselves under a canopy just in case they were right. However, to our delight it turned out to be a lovely sunny day and what we had sought for shelter from the rain became our shade from the sun.

It seemed a long slow day, as most people were either busy watching the wedding on the TV screens that had been provided or enjoying the entertainment and attractions that had been laid on. But once again, we had a very enjoyable time and in addition to raising awareness to the Charity we made £105 from the day, which we were very grateful for.

Glastonbury

On 23 June 10 of our volunteers will be participating in the Glastonbury Festival RECYCLING scheme to raise money for our Charity.

Not only have they each raised the £190 entrance fee, which on completion of their task will be refunded and donated to BKF but they will also be working 6 hrs each day during the festival undertaking their recycling duties!

So we would like to thank them and hope they have a great time at the Festival and look forward to hearing all about it on their return - and don't forget to get lots of pics to add to our gallery.
