Strengthening Communities Through Engaging Fundraising Events

Fundraising events serve as powerful catalysts for community engagement and support, and Age UK Hythe Lyminge and Ashford News is proud to host a variety of exciting initiatives aimed at both raising funds and fostering connections within our community. From classic bingo nights to clairvoyant evenings.

Bingo Nights: Bingo nights have long been a staple of community fundraising efforts, and ours are no exception. These lively evenings are filled with anticipation, laughter, and friendship as participants gather to play rounds of the beloved game. With the chance to win exciting prizes and enjoy refreshments, our bingo nights offer entertainment for all ages while supporting essential services in our area.

Jumble Sales/ Car boot sales: Our jumble sales / Car boot sales provide an opportunity for community members to declutter their homes while supporting a worthy cause. From clothing and household items to books and toys, there's always a diverse array of treasures waiting to be discovered. By donating items for sale or browsing the offerings, individuals can contribute to our fundraising efforts while finding new treasures to enjoy.

Volunteer Week: Volunteer Week is a time to celebrate and honour the invaluable contributions of the dedicated individuals who generously donate their time and skills to support our programs and services. From delivering meals to providing companionship and assistance, our volunteers play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for those in need in our community. Throughout Volunteer Week, we express our gratitude for their selfless efforts and highlight the importance of volunteerism in creating a more compassionate society.

Carers Week: As we transition from Volunteer Week, we shift our focus to Carers Week, a time to recognise and celebrate the essential role of caregivers in our community. Carers Week provides an opportunity to acknowledge the challenges faced by caregivers and offer support and appreciation for their tireless efforts. Through awareness-raising events and initiatives, we strive to highlight the importance of supporting caregivers and ensuring they have access to the resources and assistance they need.

Our fundraising events serve as both opportunities to raise funds for essential services and platforms for building connections and fostering a sense of community spirit. Whether participating in a bingo night, browsing a jumble sale, or celebrating the contributions of volunteers and carers, each event contributes to our mission of supporting and strengthening our community. We invite all members of our community to join us in Hythe, Lyminge, Ashford, and beyond.
