We would like to say an enormous thank you to everyone who was involved in our Community Fun Day, we are still counting figures but we have raised approximately £3,200- THANK YOU!

To our volunteers for being so positive and getting stuck in with everything - we could not have done it without you.

To our sponsors: Burges Salmon LLP WDM Limited Bailey of Bristol for making this day happen!

To Bristol Noise for lending us marquees and gazebos during the day.

To the amazing Dancin' Tots for putting on an amazing show and helping us to raise money - you were brilliant!

To all of our young people who helped design and run this day. The Teddy Tombola, Balloon Darts, Penalty Shootout and splat the rat were such a success and helped raise money for Ignite Life's vital youth services.

And finally, an enormous thank you to all of our vendors - from delicious food, to bouncy castles DJ Bridgee'o's Entertainments and rides, face painting and glitter and jewellery and crafts.
