Highlights from 2025
What an incredible year of community spirit, smiles and support for local children!
From the Old Nene Golf & Country Club smashing their target with £2,794, to fantastic donations from local groups including Socrates Masons (£500), St Ivo Academy (£1,943), Freight Shield (£500), Dunelm Huntingdon, Tesco, Pins and Needles Club, Huntingdonshire Philharmonic, and so many more – your generosity has been amazing!
We loved being part of Buckfest, raising funds for music therapy, and receiving an incredible £2,000 donation from the organisers. Our events have been full of joy too – from clay days, fishing trips, and adventure days, to the magical Lady Bird Boat trip and the Peterborough Cathedral Christmas Tree Festival.
We proudly presented Community Awards to Francesca Maddocks and Jessica French from Dunelm in Huntingdon and Richard and Kate Cranwell for their outstanding support.
Huge congratulations to our Chair, Christine Luckham, for receiving a special community award marking 20 years of service!
This year we donated sensory equipment to local schools, supported families through Coats4Kids, and continued to bring fun, comfort, and creativity to children across Huntingdonshire.
As we celebrate 20 years of fundraising for local children, we want to say a massive thank you to all our supporters, volunteers, organisations, and families – you truly make the magic happen!
Thank you to everyone who has kindly donated to our Charity – your generosity makes a real difference to local children and their families
