Abi Hopkins's mum belongs to a social group called 'Ladies what lunch'; for their Christmas meal, Abi and her mum cooked at home instead and the Ladies donated what they would have spent on the meal to VSO. They raised £230 (+ GiftAid).
We are always on the look out for eye-catching photos and inspiring quotes to illustrate the fundraising section and entice future fundraisers. If you think you have captured the spirit and emotion of your fundraising event and that it would definitely inspire others to raise money for VSO, we would like to hear from you. For a feature on the photo gallery and the testimonies sections, ideally we would like to have a maximum of 10 photos per event with a brief synopsis (for the photo gallery) or a detailed account of the event (about 200 words for the testimonies) including the amount you have raised. To have your event featured, email the events team.
