Sponsorship/Fundraisers
A fundraising plea – we urgently need your support with our fundraising activities, we need to raise £60-£70K each year and we can only achieve this target with your help. Please let us know if you have any fundraising ideas.
Thanks to Mr & Mrs Oates, and Mr & Mrs Mehta for their kind donations, and their continued support.
Do you live in Ware, Buntingford or anywhere in-between? Exciting news! The wonderful Ensum Brown Estate Agents in Ware have selected CHIPS as their charity partner for the month for January, and for every house they sell in that month, they will be making a donation to CHIPS!
But wait… that’s not all, Ensum Brown are also challenging us – to get as many of their special charity sponsor boards up at properties in Ware and the surrounds as we can, and they will donate even more!
