We were overwhelmed when our wonderful friends at The White Swan Littleover announced they had raised a staggering £24,000 over the last 12 months.
Since 2014 the White Swan and the amazing fundraising team and incredible supporters have raised over £118,000 for Umbrella. Everyone’s generosity is incredible, but to raise such a significant amount of money takes an unbelievable amount of dedication and effort and we cannot thank the fundraising team enough.
This fabulous donation was possible thanks to everyone who took part in the annual golf day, the auction, the family fun day, the sale of 3000 raffle tickets, the 24-hour darts marathon, the fashion show, the sale of wood carvings and blackout tickets and the incredible bike ride to Skegness.
This donation will directly support our families as well as helping towards Umbrella’s running costs.
There were lots of tears when the fundraising team announced they would continue their fundraising in 2025, we were delighted because we know how much energy is required to raise so much money.
One of our wonderful young adults, George, thanked everyone for their generosity. George who is a member of Umbrella Raindrops finished the evening by singing solo to thank everyone for making a difference to his life.
George, we are so proud of your achievements over the last 20 years.
