We’d like to give a massive 
THANK YOU 
to everyone who supported our Sports Sessions crowdfunding campaign over the past few months.
We didn’t quite reach our £5,000 target, but we had enough donations to qualify for an additional £2,500 of funding!
This means that we’ll receive £8,157 and this will directly fund our Sports Sessions for the children in our network over the next year.
To give you an idea of the difference your contribution has made, here’s what £8,157 pays for:
22 fortnightly swim sessions
100 football sessions
100 cricket sessions
over 100 dance or yoga sessions
From everyone at Sunshine & Smiles - THANK YOU
