Fundraising & Events

      




If you are an individual, do look at our Diary of Events that we organise to see if there is one you would like to join us at. You might like to undertake a sporting challenge such as the Brighton Marathon next year and you can read all about this year's event further down the page.  Perhaps you have always wanted to abseil down a building like some of our brave supporters pictured here so do keep a lookout for all of our various events taking place during the year or you might like to get a few friends together and organise an event of your own.

The easiest way to get your friends and family to sponsor you is to set-up your own page on Just Giving and link this to the event you are taking part in.   Organised Events for West Sussex and Suffolk currently are on the Just Giving site and please contact the trust office if you require any help in setting-up your Just Giving page.

The support we are receiving from parents and grandparents at The School for Parents is just growing and growing.  We have never had so many visitors to our office from people coming up with innovative ideas to fundraise for us and we are absolutely thrilled because we need all the help we can get!  Please keep an eye on the newsletters that come out three times a year and the diary of events on the website because it's amazing
how someone else's ideas can spark off one of your own.  Please DO get in touch with Rosie or Sara if you just want to have a chat about something - well anything really!

BRIGHTON MARATHON 2012




Another fantastic year for the Trust as nine runners took to the streets on Sunday 15th April to run the 3rd Brighton marathon. The weather was much cooler than the last two years which apparently helped a lot and all but two arrived in the charity welcoming marquees after an average of 4 hours, exhausted but elated and with huge smiles on their faces, quite rightly beaming with pride. Just over £5,500 was raised and the Trust are so grateful for all the training and dedication that was undertaken to achieve this magnificent challenge for the vital work carried out at the School for Parents. THANK YOU SO MUCH to Mike Church, Alex Glynn, Ollie McAteer, Paul McAteer, James Mouland, Allan Norbury, Paul O’Keefe, Anna Perkins and Jenny Theodore.




























WALKING ON FIRE  AT JIMMY'S FARM

On Wednesday 16th February 2011 Suffolk held their first Firewalk event at Jimmy's Farm in Wherstead, Ipswich.  They managed to raise over £9000.  More than 50 friends, family and spectators joined together to cheer the firewalkers on and many of those taking part enjoyed it so much they went back for a second turn!  Everyone was elated afterwards and carried on enjoying the spirit of the event in the restaurant with much from local ban Fre Shots.  They also held another sponsored Halloween firewalk on Monday 31st October, again at Jimmy's Farm which was a truly spooky and interesting night with witches, ghosts and ghouls walking the hot coals.  See our Diary of Events for a full write up with pictures from the evening.
