Purity Fundraising

A huge shoutout to our Head of Fundraising Andy McSorley MinstF for raising £1,330 for The Brompton Fountain through his FOSU football league! ⚽🎉   FOSU (which, in case you’re wondering, stands for Fat. Old. Sh*t. Unfit.) is a community league providing a fun and inclusive environment for those who might not otherwise play football. Be advised that to qualify, you must fit at least one of those boxes.   Meanwhile, The Brompton Fountain supports seriously ill children at Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals, providing vital resources, funding medical equipment, and improving hospital facilities.   Nice one, Andy, such a brilliant cause! 🙌 👏

Need content to talk about this week? How about Awareness days? Awareness days are a great opportunity for charities to raise awareness, connect with a broader audience, and inspire action. But unless you have a dedicated social media manager, it's so easy for these days to slip under your radar. Which is why we've put together the below list along with some resources/toolkits that are free to use. Why not give some of these a shout? Here's what's happening ⬇️ 🧒 15 MAY – 15 JUNE: Tourette Syndrome Awareness Month It’s the second part of TS Awareness month, a condition affecting approx. 1 in 100 school children.
