Fabulous Fundraising

October 11, 2017

We wanted to say a huge thank you to all those who have been busy fundraising over the past few months.

7 year old Darcy took part in a Clubathon and raised a whopping £405 for Facial Palsy UK. What a superstar!

Lauren Massey and friends climbed Snowdon in July and raised £1,463 which is to be split between Facial Palsy UK and CMV Action. Zoe and Gareth tackled the Swansea Half Marathon in June bringing their team fundraising total to £1,731. Also in July, Debbie and Steve Byles organised their annual Charity Fest and kindly chose us as one of their nominated charities for a second year. They have raised £3,300 so far this year for Facial Palsy UK. All funds raised will make such a difference to the work we are able to do. We are busier than ever this year and couldn’t do what we do without your support. Thank you! Isn’t the cake adorable?

Fundraisers have been extremely busy in Northern Ireland this summer. Debbie Murphy abseiled down the Europa Building in Belfast raising over £100 for the charity. Janette and Cathy organised some pig racing in Belfast and also took part in the Great North Run joined by friend Jonny. Matty and Lisa also took part in the Great North Run. A total of £2,460 was raised from this event. A huge thank you for all the support we are receiving from Northern Ireland.

We would also like to thank the Victory Pub and Christ Church Selly Park “Coffee Mates” who held coffee mornings raising over £100 for the charity. Thank you to everyone for all your amazing efforts!

Here are some quick tips for fundraising. Collectively doing things that raise pennies soon adds up! With Christmas approaching the online shopping tools are a fantastic way to help us continue our work.

Easy Fundraising – Similar to Give as you Live, raise free donations every time you shop.

Savoo – With this one you don’t even need to buy. The charity gets paid a penny every time you search via Savoo. We also receive a donation every time you use one of their voucher codes.

ChariTable Bookings – Like dining out and want to discover new restaurants? By using the ChariTable Bookings app to book a table, we will get paid £1 for every diner at no extra cost to you.

eBay for Charity – If you like selling on eBay and want to donate a percentage of a sale to Facial Palsy UK, you could receive a small discount on your seller fees.
