A supporter of Renewed Hope, Kate, organied this great fundraising event for us:
“My daughters and 6 of their friends were doing a charity cycle to raise money for Renewed Hope and Stripey Stork. The 8 children, aged between 4 and 9 planned to cycle 250km in 4 days.
Well firstly, they smashed their target and cycled 283km. Even more brilliantly, they raised £1320 in total, which would’ve meant £660 for renewed hope. However, thanks to one of the parent’s company offering to fund match, I am delighted to say that we have a donation of £1320 to make to you.
We’re so proud of them and I hope your pleased with the donation. We know now that it’s needed more than ever.”

One of our loyal and regular volunteers and her florist friend organised a fundraising event just before Christmas, holding a virtual floral demonstration. Kits were delivered and a step-by-step guide given on how to create a beautiful Christmas candle arrangement to a group of thirty of our friends. £570 was raised in combination with a raffle to which three of our fantastic local businesses namely Pilgrim Brewery, Flint House – Reigate and COOK kindly donated prizes. It is original fundraising ideas like this that are fun to do and support a good cause. Thank you so much, great idea and much appreciated support.
