Wow! What an incredible response we have had from the launch of our £100K appeal. Despite the difficult circumstances everyone is facing right now, people are being selfless and donating what they can.
In the past three months you have raised an incredible £33,427.57 pounds towards our £100k appeal. This money will help us to provide emergency support and accommodation for young homeless people aged 16-24 in Blackburn and the surrounding areas.
As you can see, we have laid very strong foundations for the appeals – but we’re not there yet. We still need your help to build up our pot of cash.
We would like to take this opportunity to give a shout out to those individuals, groups and workplaces who have helped us reach the 1/3 mark. These include:
- Accrington Rotary Club – £2,500
- East Ribble Freemasons – £2,500
- Farley’s Solicitors – £2,500
- Trickett’s Sporting Goods – £320
- Blackburn with Darwen Police Team – £210
- Christian Davies Antiques – £1,187.50
- John Berry Trust (JBT) – £,1000
- Clitheroe Rotary Club – £100
- Stonyhurst Park Golf Club – £1,000
- Ribblesdale Rotary – £500
A Running Total So Far Of £33,427.57
We also received a generous donation of a new freezer!
If you would like to donate, please visit www.justgiving.com/campaign/night-safe and give what you can. We’d love to be able to feature you on the roll call of the next update…
Without the help of our supporters, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do.
Thank you to all our #NightsafeHeroes.
