Broadland Hockey Club
Members and friends of Broadland Hockey Club are hoping to raise money to build a second hockey pitch to accommodate their growing club. They are also raising money for other charities that our close to their hearts along the way, including Nelson’s Journey.
On 26th June, they will be cycling 500 miles across Norfolk and Suffolk over the course of a week, taking in such wonderful sights as Hunstanton, Wells and Southwold. This is an average of around 75 miles a day!
50 % of all money raised will be going to the Hockey Club. The rest of the funds raised are being split equally between the organisers’ chosen charities...
Rachel Aldous: Nelsons Journey
Lizzie Stevens: SANDS
David Morter: The Dogs Trust

Smiling Sweetly
As part of our Smiles Campaign to raise money to build a new home, we have teamed up with Frances Mobbs, WI member for over 25 years, to encourage everyone to hold a Smiling Sweetly coffee morning in their local community, work place or school.
The best part of a coffee morning is homemade cakes and biscuits. You can do the baking yourself or even ask your friends to bring a cake or biscuits with them. Raise funds by charging a small amount for a slice of cake or biscuit. You could even incorporate a cake stall and encourage people to donate through buying something scrummy to take home.
Guess the weight of the cake is a fun game, charge 50p or £1 for each entry, the person with the closest answer wins the cake. Or why not hold a raffle or quiz; you could even have an unwanted books stall, or sell vegetables you’ve grown!
If you’d like a fundraising pack, please get in touch. Happy baking!
