Hi! For those who don’t know me, I’m Pauline – mum to Theo (aka Sara’s co-boss… you’ll know him 😄) and Evie, who is much more low-key (clearly takes after me!).
I’m also a trustee at Denton Youth & Community Project (very official title for a volunteer role), and I’m genuinely passionate about what they do for all our families and the wider community.
Right… here comes the begging part 👀
We’re putting together a fundraiser for our amazing youth and community group and we need raffle prizes 🎟️
We’ve already had a ridiculously good start (I’m not even exaggerating… it’s shaping up to be a VERY good raffle), but I want to make it even bigger and better.
If you know any local businesses who might be up for donating a prize, please shout me – I’m more than happy to send a message (I’ve clearly found my talent in cheeky emails lately 😂). Or if you can connect me directly, even better!
We’re also very happy to take:
* Bottles (alcoholic or alcohol-free – zero alcohol gin etc. all welcome)
* Chocolates and sweets (I will turn these into top-tier hampers, promise)
* Unused gift sets (you know the ones… Baylis & Harding, Lynx… the “thanks Santa” specials 😄)
I can collect, or if you’re passing the youth club, Sara and Roxy can take them in and stash them safely.
Every penny raised goes to DYCP, which does so much for our community… and I am absolutely trying to secure approval for a slightly chaotic trip to Costco to buy all the summer games 😅
We’ll be selling raffle tickets throughout May, with the draw on Friday 29 May. I’ll be dropping little hints about prizes along the way… but honestly, this is one you’ll want tickets for.
I’ve also got domino cards available (adults only – you’ve been warned 👀).
FIRST CLUE: there are some P. Louise goodies involved 💄
