Fundraising
Throughout the year members, parents and carers run a number of events to raise money to ensure the financial viability of the ALD Club. Without these events there would not be an ALD Club.
Christmas Cards
We have previously sold Christmas Cards with designs by our members, and we are actively looking for a company to sponsor future printing.
Local Businesses
We have over the past few years been very fortunate to receive sponsorship from a number of local companies (AME Group, Rumours Art of Air, Brand Nutrition, Benton's plumbing Engineering Ltd, TA Innovative Waste Solutions & Anston Parish Council) and our thanks go to these organisations.
Raffles
A Christmas Raffle was organised by Irene (Jason's mum) and we raised a fantastic amount of £903.
Special thanks must go to all those who helped Irene sell the tickets.
We must also thank all the local business's that donated prizes for this event, Tesco, Rumours of Hair, Monksbridge Farm, Expresso Coffee, Bargain Booze, New Street Pharmacy and Super Swimmers.
Your support helped to make this event a huge success, thank you from all at the ALD Club.
Sponsored Walk
One of our most successful fund raising events is our sponsored walk which we arrange on a on an annual basis and is usually around Thrybergh Country Park which you might feel is not a great distance. I can assure you for some of our members this is a very arduous task in deed and they do well to get round. Weather permitting we finish the evening off with a picnic in the park.
Anyone wishing to sponsor our members please give us a call.
Here are some photos of our sponsored walk over the years.
Suggestions
We would be only too pleased to receive further ideas for fund raising and hear from anyone willing to offer their services in helping the ALD Club to raise funds. We are also actively looking for someone to sponsor the purchase of electronic equipment for the club - laptop, tablets etc.
