Fundraising
Welcome to our Fundraising section, where we will tell you about our current fundraising projects and how you can help. This is also where we can say a huge ‘Thank you’ to our supporters, big and small, throughout the year.

We have now joined JustGiving to make fundraising even easier!

Variety Club Sunshine Coach
We were delighted to have a brand new Variety Club Sunshine Coach, sponsored by DPD delivered in November. The presentation was made at a special assembly, attended by representatives of The Variety Club, DPD and also John Culshaw and the Honey Monster!
John Smith Comedy Evening
On 13th November 2009 we held a deaf comedy event at The Swiss Cottage Inn, featuring deaf comedian John Smith. This was a fantastic evening which raised £797. Prizes from our raffle included signed boxing gloves from champion David Haye and VIP tickets to a recording of The Graham Norton Show.
