Putting the fun into fundraising

Earlier this year some of our brilliant Ambassadors took it upon themselves to organise coffee mornings to raise awareness and vital funds to support our services.

Carolyn says,

“Organising and holding a coffee morning in aid of the Brain & Spine Foundation was a bit of a challenge for me this time around as, health wise, my neurological symptoms had been bothersome, but I was determined carry on and do it.

“I was amazed how many people responded and showed up in the middle of a heatwave! We erected a gazebo, popped up an umbrella and off we went.

“We had a lovely day, with people donating food and cakes on the day. Teas and coffee served in the morning along with a lot of cooling refreshments as we battled the heat and a glass of Prosecco served later. We also held a raffle which added to the fun and the total raised! All in all, a brilliant day raising £285!”

We are incredibly grateful to Carolyn, Paula and Charlie and all those who joined them on a sunny Saturday to have a chat over a cuppa. Between them they raised over £1,300 which is the equivalent to 30 people impacted by neurological conditions being supported through our services.
