Fundraising Women in Wellies Project
December, 2018
We did it! With the help of our incredible supporters, we have raised enough money to provide 300 pairs of wellies to the South Sudanese women farmers who until now, have had to work in the field all day wearing flip-flops. Through birthday parties, men’s breakfasts, senior citizens harvest supper, dancing, baking, choir concerts and straight donations we smashed our target of £1,500. On behalf of those women – a huge Thank You!
Take a look at some of the fund raising events we’ve enjoyed to make this happen:
Men’s breakfast at Hordle in the New Forest Trustee Adrian and his wife Katie who instigated this project Dancing in Wellies! Strictly impossible! Harvest Supper at Home Sarum House, Salisbury Trustee Adrian speaking about the campaign at a special service. St James’ Church, Devizes Carol concert at St Joseph’s Church, West Lavington Carol concert at St Joseph’s Church, West Lavington Sarah asked for donations to the project in lieu of 40th birthday presents And the staff at the Civil Aviation Authority held their Christmas Bake Off in aid of Women in Wellies!
