So what are we raising money for?

We are raising money to put in a brand new climbing frame at our park. This will replace the old one on the main park.

This new climbing frame costs just over £15k. We have just over £8K in the bank from our previous fundraising efforts.

Santa 🎅 Dash 2025 has, so far, raised £1500 from ticket sales, sponsorship and a generous personal donation from Councillor Sue Adams.

Our shortfall is around £5.5k.

We would very much like to put the new climbing frame in next year (2026) so are, once again, appealing to our local community.

If you can spare anything to get us closer to our fundraising target of £5.5k, please donate here https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/dane-hill?utm_medium=CF&utm_source=CL

If you work for an organisation that can offer match funding, please let us know.

Thank you x
