VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP OUR LIBRARIES OPEN! THINK ABOUT CROYDON AND OUR FRIENDS WHO LIVE THERE!

 

OUR 2024 FUN WALK: ALL SET FOR THE "GRAND REVEAL" ON FRIDAY 29 NOVEMBER

This year’s Fun Walk saw 90 local charities and community groups registered and an estimated 3,000 supporters take part in sponsored walks across Essex. The participating organisations are currently collecting their sponsorship money, and the Fun Walk team is set for a ‘grand reveal’ of the amount raised at their Celebration Evening on November 29^th.

The Fun Walk Trust helps charities, local schools and churches, grass roots sports teams and other community groups raise funds for their projects and initiatives, and a Bonus Pot sponsored by local businesses tops up the amount each organisation raises themselves.

 John Baron, Chair of the Fun Walk Trustees, said:

“This year’s event looks as if it will be even more successful than last year, and we are delighted so many charities and good causes will be able to use the Fun Walk to boost their fundraising efforts.”

“The photos we received of the various sponsored walks completed around Essex have been wonderful and we are happy to share some of the highlights. To see more photos and learn about the Fun Walk, please visit our website: www.thefunwalktrust.co.uk”

“We could not hold this event without the generous support of local businesses who sponsor the Bonus Pot. They include Greater Anglia, Sanctuary Housing Association, Brown & Carroll, Butyl Products Group, Tunnelcraft, IFE Global Logistics, Mr Barrie Stone and other individuals. Our thanks go to them all.”

SATURDAY'S GREAT ANNUAL BILLERICAY COMMUNITY ARCHIVE GATHERING - THANK YOU FOR VISITING

 Last week's all day gathering at Billericay Library was a huge success and members of our rather special Billericay Community Archive were happy to sign up more local residents (and some out of town visitors) to join the 'Friends' group we are currently recruiting. Do take a look at our website: www.billericaycommunityarchive.com to pick up some of the most interesting images we have to show you.  Maybe you have some yourself and it so, please do make contact?
