Charity Challenge to Quadruple Fund Raising Target



A Berkshire disability charity has announced it has been chosen to take part in the Greenham Trust’s ‘Escalator Project’ in a bid to boost its funding. 


Children’s disability charity Swings & Smiles has been selected by the trust to benefit from its scheme to quadruple the funding the charity can raise in four weeks. 


Swings & Smiles provides accessible play spaces for disabled children in the Thatcham area, as well as respite care and support for their families.


If the charity can raise £10,000 between August 19 and September 13, the Greenham Trust will donate a further £30,000 to ‘supercharge’ its funds. 

 

Swings & Smiles is encouraging supporters to get involved by hosting their own fundraising events during August and September.

 

“Whatever you want to do to fundraise, it will make a big impact,” said Corporate Fundraising Lead Richard Falkus-Holder.

 

“You might want to do something Olympics-themed, take on a challenge, run a pub quiz, a raffle or bake sale.

 

The money raised will go towards the charity’s teenage programme which will give young people with special needs a meaningful place to socialise and gain independence.

 

“We would like to use the money to design and build an outdoor space with a firepit where young people can bond with others and build their confidence during their formative years,” added Richard.
