Fundraising is an extremely important part of FOCC Medway’s work. When the children go home at the end of the summer, it is time to start saving for the next visit! The costs of bringing a child to the UK – visas, passports, flights, travel costs, activities and visits during their stay – is currently almost £800 per year, and is increasing.
How does FOCC Medway raise funds?
There are several ways we do this:
- The charity runs several of its own fundraising events each year – coffee mornings; Blingo Bingo and Beetle Drive evenings; a Car Treasure Hunt; and a Barn Dance. You can find our upcoming events here.
- We attend events and fetes to run tombolas or sell crafts.
How can you help FOCC Medway raise funds?
We are very lucky to have had some amazing people/organisations do some wonderful things to help us:
- Quiz nights and concerts
- Sponsored events, such as marathons and abseils
- Bake sales and competitions
- If you have a hall/venue available, then we can come and run one of our Blingo Bingo, Barn Dance or Beetle Drive evenings with you.
