Fundraising

A BIG Thank You to.......

Unfortunatley we cannot put everyone who supports us on this page but we do try to update it regularly to give you some idea of all the work that our members, families and friends do to support us.....

• The Bibbings Family from Derbyshire helped at a coffee morning in St Paul’s Methodist Church this year and were able to raise £115 for the Brittle Bone Society which they asked to be put towards the BBS Leap Year Appeal. We are very grateful to everyone who helped for all their hard work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kinross-shire’s Round Table raised £5,010 by holding a Beer Festival  in September in Kinross.

The 30 real ales, 8 ciders (and lots of  soft drinks) were enjoyed by around 400 people including several members and staff of the Brittle Bone Society.

• The Society was very grateful to receive £800 from Dumfries & District Round Table which they collected at the annual Santa Sleigh during Christmas 2007. Thank you to everyone who helped Santa!

Danny Lambert-Clarke and his friend Jamie Roth, are  both students at   Darlington College. Danny’s brother has OI so they decided to raise money for us.

They raised £151.65 for the BBS by dressing up as Santa, and his twin brother, and doing a street collection in Darlington.

• A Big Thank You to the people of the Darlington area who raised £1,655 at their 2007 Golf Day. This was the second year the BBS have benefited from their golf day, in 2006 they raised £3,300.

A special thankyou to Jonathan Stansfield, and Jamie Dennis, for all the hard work they do to make the golf days such a success.

Catherine Potterton, a Trustee of the BBS decided to raise money by asking people  to   sponsor a headshave, which she did on New Years Eve.

From friends, family and a page on the justgiving website she raised a total of £320!

• Brenda Murgatroyd, who lives in Wigan, collected a cheque for the BBS, £1,800 which was raised by the children at Standish Community High School.

We thank them for all the hard work they did to raise such an amount. We would also like to thank Brenda for collecting the cheque and giving a talk to the school.

Once again our friends in Wokingham have been organising various events as well as getting donations from work places and the rotary club helped as well to raise the amazing amount of £2,900. The photo is of one of our members Natasha Okopski receiving some of the money which was raised by the local rotary club.

• We were very lucky to receive £900 from the staff at MAP which they raised at their annual ball. The Brittle Bone Society was nominated by Karen Keachie from Kilmarnock whose son Gregor has OI.
  

Gertie and John Farmery are practically full-time fundraisers for the BBS.

In December they ran a “Play your Cards Right” stall at a Christmas Bazaar organised by the Lions Club. This was only one of the many events they did last year to raise a total of £9,100. That’s a VERY BIGTHANKYOU to Gertie & John!!
