The Big Give Week
Brighter Together took part in The Big Give’s Small Charity Week in June, where all funds raised would be doubled thanks to funding awarded by Postcode Society Trust. It was a great opportunity to raise awareness of our work and generate support for another year of intergenerational projects.
We didn’t quite expect the fundraising week to coincide with a heatwave! While many of our sessions were postponed to keep children and older adults safe and comfortable, many still managed to go ahead. Our groups put so much effort in to our ‘connecting generations’ paper chains.
We ended the week with a bubble show in Twickenham and were overwhelmed by the community response! The event sold out, and it was lovely to see so many smiles as Mr Magic Bubbles delighted everyone with bubble tricks.
A sincere thank you to the businesses who kindly donated raffle prizes, and to everyone who supported us through donations, buying raffle tickets, or coming to the show. We exceeded our fundraising target and greatly appreciate the support of the wider community.
