Fundraising at Honeybuns Nursery Group

Fundraising

All three nurseries within the Honeybuns Nursery Group work hard at fundraising for national and local charities. We feel that it is important for children to learn how to help others…whilst having fun raising money.

We are grateful to all of the parents and staff that make fundraising events possible, in 2011 we raised a total of £4171.80. Along with supporting BBC Children in Need and Comic Relief, we have also made a sizeable donation to Save the Children.

In September 2011 The Honeybuns Nursery Group donated £1100 to Save the Children. The money was raised at Summer Fetes, Christmas Fayres and other fundraising activities over the past 12 months. £600 was donated to the East Africa Emergency Appeal. The appeal was set up by Save the Children to help families survive in poverty stricken Somalia. The money will also help the charity look after the growing number of infants that have been abandoned by parents who feel they can no longer look after them properly.

The remaining £500 has been used to buy gifts from the Save the Children Virtual Wish List. Honeybuns has brought eight emergency food baskets, seven sets of mosquito nets, four bicycles and a pair of goats. The gifts will be sent to families across the world and will help them not only survive the immediate threat of poverty that they face, but also help them create a future for themselves.
