FSI Challenge 2011
With 2011 New
Year celebrations now nothing more than a distant memory and the sun
once again peeking from behind the clouds, Village Aid looks towards its
next active fundraising event.
The Foundation for Social Improvement (FSI)
is an organisation whose sole aim is to support and empower small
charities to fulfil their potential. One way in which they do this is by
taking the leg work out of events organisation and using what resources
they have to support others.
On Saturday July 2nd the founder of FSI, Emma Harrison (owner of
Thornbridge Hall in Ashford, Derbyshire and star of Channel 4's Secret
Millionaire) will be opening the doors of her estate and hosting a
charity fundraising challenge.
Set amidst the backdrop of Thornbridge hall and its grounds there will
be a 10km or 4km run, depending on your ability or the degree of the challenge you
want to take on.
Village Aid are looking for as many people as possible to take part in
this fundraising challenge and raise vital money for the work of Village
Aid and our West African partners. Fundraising for the event is not mandatory but as a guide we are asking participants to raise £20 for the 4km route and £50 for the 10km route.
So if you are interested in taking part or simply in spending a
beautiful (fingers crossed) summers day in the grounds of one of
Derbyshires most magnificent country estates then download the
registration form below and forward to james@villageaid.org.
