We
held a summer fete at
our Portsmouth nursery
on Saturday 28th
August 2010, to help
raise money for CRY and
Cancer Research. We
opened our doors to the
families who attend our
nursery and also to our
local community.
Children enjoyed
watching a puppet show
put on by staff, whilst
eating ice creams, candy
floss and chocolate
marshmallows which they
helped make.
Our cook baked cakes for
our cake stall and
parents donated some
too. We also had a
competition to guess the
weight of the cake,
where one of our parents
won the fruit cake which
weighed 1.2 kilos.
We held a raffle on the
day which helped us
raise £175 on raffle
tickets alone, so we
would like to thank our
local businesses who
donated towards the
raffle.
We raised a total of
£460.00 on the day,
which we have split
equally between both
charities, plus £37.41
raised from sales of CRY
merchandise.
