UK fundraising update

Springtime 2010 brought some fresh fundraising for the Helambu Project. These included an holding an Open House whereby neighbours and friends of Helen Cross, Crathes, Scotland dropped by to buy bakes and other sale items and a raffle was also held.

A music quiz was held in Banchory, Scotland in which over 300 people took part. Elsewhere in the village the local Brownies pack held a bring and buy sale and raised further funds by being sponsored for the tasks required for their Homecraft badges.

One of the Brownies went a step further by also being sponsored to give up sweeties (candy) for the 40 days of Lent! In the South West of Scotland Matt Dodds held a fundraising talk ‘A night in Nepal’ in which he presented photographs and discussed t

he work of the project to his local community in Galston.

We also secured individual donations from throughout the UK.

Despite the difficult economic circumstances we find ourselves in at present, we’d like to thank all of our UK support for their hard work and generosity. For more information on these and other fundraisers, take a look at our UK blog and fundraising page.
