Supporting local Charities
Our events team embraces the ABWM ethos of Charity, Fun and Support as it organises enjoyable events; the purpose is to fundraise either for a specific charity or for the overall charity pot.
Charities are invited to apply for funding and the ABWM committee review and approve the applications at the end of the fiscal year in March.
2020 and 2021 were particularly challenging. However, we managed to raise a significant amount and also donated non-monetary items, such as face masks, dry food goods and clothing.
We also help members to find voluntary roles, whether they would like to utilise skills from their work roles, or prefer a more challenging role. We firmly believe in giving back to the community we live in.
