We proudly entered a team at this year’s Dragon Boat event to raise funds for our vital services and the wonderful people we support with learning disabilities. This was the first year of not hosting the event and it was nice to see other charities and companies taking part on the day.
Despite ominous weather warnings of storms, and the event being cancelled, the skies were kind to us, and the rain held off until the very end of the event.
Thanks to a great team effort from staff, clients, and the fabulous Rob Mangles & The Gym Tin, we achieved the fastest time in our 3 heats 01.35.42—earning us a spot in the grand final! With the threat of a downpour looming, we paddled hard, slowly running out of puff but finishing with an impressive third place and a medal. YAY!
A huge thank you goes to Dragon Boat Events for organising such a fantastic day, Fawcetts Accountants & Forelle Estates for sponsoring the boat, everyone who took part, the homes who came down to cheer us on, and especially KW, one of our amazing clients, for his incredible paddling efforts at the back of the boat.
We’re so grateful to everyone who has donated to our fundraising page so far but we want to reach our target of £1,000. We are currently at £922.50 which includes an extremely generous donation of £500 pledged by the Freemasons.
If you can help us achieve our goal it would be very much appreciated https://donate.giveasyoulive.com/charity/sfht
Thank you for your support!
