WHO ARE YOU RAISING MONEY FOR IN 2025?

This year we’re raising money so we can donate small grants to charities and/or community groups in Newham, London through a simple application process. An expression of interest is open on this website and will close on 02.06.2025.

HOW IS THE MONEY CALCULATED?

All money in and out is tracked during the year by our treasurer, and is kept in a separate charity bank account. Any expenses out of the account are purely for providing items or logistics that will aid the fundraising events in taking place. All remaining money is donated.
