ALL the money raised will go to local charities.
The funds raised last year were used to support voluntary organisations and individuals and those hard hit by COVID - 19. We made donations to local Foodbanks, including Burnham Care & Share, supplied food parcels for families at Christmas, and helped Thames Valley Adventure Playground, Riding for the Disabled and Youth groups including Guides and Scouts. We have also supported Alexander Devine, Thames Hospice and helped raise money for Children in Need through local schools.
If you would like to make a donation you can do so when you Register or via our VirginMoneyGiving page where you can also set up your own fundraising page
