We have lots of great fundraising events planned for the autumn. Please save the below dates, and read on for ideas on how you can help New Ark with our ongoing fundraising.
Our next fundraising drop in meeting is on Tuesday 23rd September 1-3pm in Charlotte’s office. Just pop along during that time, or if you can’t make it but would still like to help with fundraising please email fundraising.newark@gmail.com.
Open Day, Saturday 4 October 1-4pm
We welcome donations of baked cakes etc to sell on the day. Entry will be by donation to this annual community event.
Christmas Pamper & Indulgence Evening, Friday 7th November 7-11pm
Do you know a business who might donate a make-over, a hotel stay, or something equally attractive for our top raffle prize? If yes please do ask them on our behalf – top prize means lots of publicity opportunities! We are also seeking stallholders who should email fundraising.newark@gmail.com for further information.
Christmas Bazaar, Saturday 29 November noon-4pm
We are now collecting donations of small gifts that will fit inside a jam jar – either loose or inside a clean jar. Ideas include a handful of lego, loom bands, beauty products, wrapped sweets – it really could be anything small that is suitable for either children or adults. If you can volunteer on the day of the Bazaar to run a stall, please send an email with your name, phone number and availability to fundraising.newark@gmail.com.
We are about to launch a fun ‘Little House’ fundraiser that aims to raise money to buy a shelter/sunshade for our sandpit. Any New Ark child/supporter can take part – look out for information which will be starting to circulate next week!
Do you run/manage a local business that is willing to keep a New Ark fundraising collection tin by your till? If yes please drop us an email with “collection tin” in the title to fundraising.newark@gmail.com
And finally, please do consider buying your Back to School supplies online via www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/newark. Up to 15% of what you spend will be donated to us and there are lots of high street retailers involved including Tesco, John Lewis, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Argos and M+S.
Thanks for your ongoing support everyone.
