May 2019 Fun Run
Santa and Rudolf Christmas 2018
We are probably best know for the Felixstowe Fun Run and Santa's Christmas collection, but we also organise a Charity Boxing Night and a Music for Everyone concert. These anual events generate the funds needed for our work in the community. They are also great fun for all.
