Charity
Charities of The Year: National Autistic Society, Motor Neurone Disease Association, Childrens’ Hospice South West at Wraxall
Each year Club members select a charitable cause for which we raise money through various events and collections. This year at our AGM, members nominated that we should raise funds for three different charities. The South West Children’s Hospice at Wraxall was once again nominated along with the National Autistic Society and MDNA (Motor Neurone Disease Association).
We are pleased that our members agreed that we should split all the money we raise between these three deserving causes throughout 2024.
Come back to this page soon to see how much we raised for our charities in the last year – South West Children’s Hospice and Free Wheelers Bristol.
