Fundraising Events
Wythit try and do fundraising as often as possible for ourselves and other local community groups/organizations such as the £1 challenge, which involved making as much money as possible through enterprising ideas starting only with a £1 coin. We have also held events such as a quiz, raffle night, autumn ball, amongst others.
