Fundraising
We have a programme of events that run throughout the year that contribute to our funds
The proceeds go to a number of charities locally, nationally and internationally, and of course also pay for our Community support activities, details of which can be found here (link to Community page).
Our regular events include:
- Father Christmas in his sleigh in the Royal Priors Shopping Centre
- Christmas Trees of Light in remembrance of loved ones, in Leamington and Whitnash
- A Taste of Leamington, a moveable feast around local independent restaurants in the town
- An eBay site for the sale of donated items Link here
- Cars At The Spa –lots of Classic cars and vehicles of special interest – displayed all day in The Pump Room Gardens, complete with almost non-stop entertainment
- Our annual charity dinner with auction
It all takes time, effort and resourcefulness – and that is what we enjoy! And we are always looking for new ideas……..
