To boost the funds raised for the charity, throughout 2023 we have made a variety of efforts across the Club. This began by installing a donation point making it easy to make a contribution. Our key fundraising efforts centred around the following charitable activities, which were only possible with the support of our members and the team.
Dragon Boat Race
Returning for another year The Lensbury team of staff and members took to the Thames and battled it out at the Kingston Rotary Dragon Boat Race. After months of training and hard work, all our teams put on an incredible performance, with our Lensbury ladies winning gold! Overall a total of £1,108 was raised!
Blues & Beyond
Going back to the beginning of the year, we brought Dave Kelly to The Lensbury for a Blues & Beyond charity jazz night. Over 150 of you attended, with £1,400 donated to the charity on the back of this entertaining event.
Charity Cycle to The Mole Resort
Finally, as we’re sure many of you remember, Team Lensbury took on the challenge of cycling over 200 miles from The Lensbury to our sister property The Mole Resort in Devon. Full of tough hills, changing weather conditions and a few flat tires, this was a true challenge. Through the team’s efforts and fundraising spin sessions in the run-up, over £3,100 was raised, an impressive achievement.
As we come to the end of a very positive year we are already putting together plans for fun fundraising events for our new Charity of the Year, as selected by our members, starting in January.
