To provide the funds for all the equipment and to subsidise screenings, an enormous amount of effort has gone into fundraising over the years, spear-headed by Rose Cunningham. This has included Grand Draws, Dinner dances, Bric-a-Brac and Jumble Sales, Boot Fairs, Coffee Mornings, Car Treasure Hunts, Country and Western evenings, Jazz evenings, Wine & Wisdom evenings, Flower Arranging demonstrations, Strawberry teas, and Fashion Shows.
We have also run stalls at other events to provide funds, and of course on occasions we have collected on the streets with tins, and some have been placed by EKUBS in local newsagents, hairdressers and pubs.
In addition, other groups have organised events to raise funds for us, including a It’s a Knock-Out competition, a Sponsored Swim, a “Showbiz” football match, a Sponsored Head Shave, a Sponsored Run in the Marathon, a Musical Evening, Barbeques, and a Gymnastic Competition. We are supremely grateful to all those caring and enthusiastic people who have helped us in these ways.
We are always seeking new and exciting ways to raise money, and if you are able to help us in any way of the following ways:
- By giving us a donation
- With ideas for fund raising
- By joining our group, or helping us out at any event
- By obtaining a ticket for one of our events (PDF—requires Adobe Reader)
- By donating goods or services
- By letting us know of any group who would like to make us their charity of the year, or a company who might sponsor one of our events
...we would love to hear from you.
If you would like to help in any way please contact us.
