Fundraising

We need to raise around £2,000+ a year in order to maintain the meeting hut and all our equipment. We are always interested in opportunities to raise money for the group so we can offer the best range of activities to our members. If you are able to help in any way, please get in touch with our secretary on secretary@6thfarnboroughscouts.org.uk.

Gift aid

For every donation we receive we are able to claim Gift Aid from the government, making your donation go further.

Online shopping

One easy way to help us raise funds is by using our online shopping links:

Simply register with them, and choose the 6th Farnborough Scouts Group as your chosen charity, and then go to your favourite retailers via the easyfundraising website, and that's it! Any orders you then place will gain us a donation from the retailer.

Grants

We are always on the look out for grants we can apply for to help us with our bigger projects. We currently have three big projects we need to raise funds for:

  1. Sound dampening for the meeting hut - target for this is £2K
  2. Tarmacing of the hard standing around the hut to create a level and safer surface - costs TBD
  3. Remodelling of the kitchen/toilets and creation of a cloak room for the hut - costs TBD

If you know of any grant schemes that could help us achieve these aims, please get in touch with our secretary on secretary@6thfarnborough.org.uk
