Toybox - let the street children live

Fundraiser of the Month

Every month, Toybox tells the story of a supporter who has been actively raising money to help fund our work with street children in Latin America. We are so grateful to every one of our faithful supporters and all that they do for the children. If you have a tale to tell about your fundraising efforts, let us know! You might be the next Fundraiser of the Month...

This month's fundraisers are:

Sutton Methodist Chapel Sunday School

The lovely team at Sutton Methodist Chapel have been creating yummy things in their kitchens, and organised a cake stall to raise money for the street children.

The stall was held on the last day of the summer term outside the local village school. Lots of people came to sample the scrummy cakes, cookies and other sugary delights, and the Sunday School team managed to raise a brilliant £51! That's quite a few slices of cake - well done guys!

The Sutton Methodist Chapel congregation all helped by making these tasty treats so it really was a big team effort.

Thanks to the help of great fundraisers like all at Sutton Methodist Chapel, we will be able to reach more and more street children across Latin America every year. Thank you guys!.

 

If you've been inspired to do something for the street children, we would love to hear from you! Email jessica.reynolds@toybox.org or write to us and tell us all about it.

Other brilliant fundraisers who have been doing great things recently are:

Louise Grumi - Louise took up a massive challenge and trekked the Inca Trail in Peru to raise money for the street children. Louise walked over 39 km and raised more than £1200! Thank you Louise!

James Faulkner - James is one of these sporty types, so he played to his strengths and recently completed the Pembrokeshire Coast Triathlon. It took him 3 hours and 27 minutes, and he raised £835! Good effort James!

David and Sarah Witt - David and Sarah have been having lots of fun (!) doing the Wells Fun Run to raise money for the street children. They completed the course together and raised £280 - well done David and Sarah!

Andy and Lucy Clasper - A massive thank you and congratulations to newly married Andy and Lucy who chose to ask their guests to help raise money to fund one of the Toybox psychologists out in the field. They raised almost £600, enough to fund 2 whole months of vital psychological support for the children. Congratulations!
