Our friend and supporter Tanya was inspired by our pad projects to walk 57 miles (to celebrate her 57th birthday) and asked her friends to donate to Power Of Pads in lieu of birthday presents. She raised a wonderful £290 and we’re so grateful. This means that 58 girls will receive a pack of five pads each – truly life changing for some of those girls. We also held a couple of fundraising events – a delicious seasonal lunch event that included a creative session run by our friend Ruth. We raised an amazing £1320 and this will enable us to offer seed funding to a new project – it will get it up and running with new sewing machines, training for local women and the production and delivery of pads to hundreds of girls. Our annual quiz night was again a boisterous affair with healthy competition between teams and a delicious supper served. We raised over £2100 and we’re able to continue to support some of our projects helping them to develop onto the next phase of their project.
The vast majority of our funding comes from fundraising events, so if you would like to support us and/ or have an idea how to raise money, we’d love to hear from you info@powerofpads.com
