Presentation Evening-Carol Float & 5 Valleys Fireworks

ALMOST £11,000 PRESENTED!

Great evening, able to donate the proceeds from these two events to a group of very worthy local causes.

We had to call back Santa to assist us with some of these as well.

From the proceeds of our Carol Float activities in December, we were very pleased to support:

• Gloucestershire Young Carers             http://www.glosyoungcarers.org.uk
• Midlands Air Ambulance                       http://www.midlandsairambulance.com
• Patchwork Riding for the Disabled      http://www.equestrianindex.com/entry/patchwork-group-rda
• Severn Area Rescue Association         http://www.sara-rescue.org.uk  

Dursley Club were also able to join us in order to received their share of the proceeeds - they are supporting

• Great Western Air Ambulance    http://www.greatwesternairambulance.com
• LINC                                               http://www.lincfund.org

and Severn Vale Club who are supporting

• Hollie Gazzard Trust                    http://holliegazzard.org 
• Stroud Door Project                     http://www.thedoor.org.uk

It has been great to be working again with our colleagues in these neighbouring Clubs.

Having then allowed Santa to go and get some rest before he starts preparing his toy stocks for later this year, we were then able to present our share of the 5Valleys Fireworks event, where we had worked with Stroud and Nailsworth Clubs.   http://www.fivevalleysfireworks.org.uk

We were able to support three Stonehouse causes, all focussing on young people.

• Itchy Feet Dance Group     Find them on Facebook

• Shrubberies School           http://www.shrubberiesschool.co.uk

A big thank you also to the sponsors who so generously supported the event - more detail of them on the website.

But also of course a big thank you to everyone who has helped  - by coming along and enjoying the Fireworks and also by supporting  the Carol Float collections!
