Over £70,000 raised at 20th Anniversary Crowdfunding Event
27th October 2022
On 6 October, we celebrated our birthday with a special 20th Anniversary Crowdfunding Event and Members' Reception.
Taking place in the beautiful St. Bride Foundation, we started with a Members' Reception, hosted by co-founder Dr Frederick Mulder CBE. More than 50 members joined us on this special occasion, as we launched our 20 Year Impact Report and shiny new look.
Interested in membership? Contact Julia to find out more.
After the Reception, it was back to our usual business - connecting a room of engaged donors to three amazing causes. In just over an hour, we raised over £70,000 for The Streetlife Trust, Clowns Withour Borders UK and Get Rid of and Donate - smashing our original target of £30,000! Thank you to Vicky and Jane, Samantha and Andrea for your incredible pitches.
We also had an update from Dr Claire Malone, STEM Lead at Lightyear Foundation, who we first met back in 2016. You can watch Dr Claire Malone's talk here.
If you weren't able to join us but would still like to give, you can make a donation here. All donations are gratefully received.
