The Barratt Foundation Donates £1500

The Barratt Foundation has been very generous

Paul and I were delighted to attend on a damp day in August to accept a cheque for £1500.00 at the Barratt Homes new Poppyfield development in Uttoxeter.

Collection the Barrett Foundation donationDonations like this make so much difference to Uttoxeter Gateway Club. Our Club can only operate when we have sufficient funds to run it. The Trustees and Volunteers focus on raising those funds year on year, coming up with new money raising ideas, but donations like the one received today make us smile and it takes the pressure off, for a week or so at least.

Could you help?

Good News Week

Good News Week

Wonderful donation of £3221.50

This week was our Bowling Week which started off with the usual gusto and a fabulous attendance, this activity is clearly a favourite of a lot of our members. There were a few hiccups encountered but nothing our trusty staff weren’t able to resolve 😊

But the best news this week has to be the successful sharing of the NFU Mutual Giving Fund 2023. NFU Mutual posted a Facebook request for nominations for a local worthy cause.

“NFU Mutual has allocated a £1.92m national fund to support local frontline charities, NFU Mutual’s Agency Giving Fund.”

“To ensure that this fund is distributed across the UK, NFU Mutual has invited our agency to nominate a local charity to receive an equal share of this fund, a donation of £3,221.50.

We are very grateful for the wonderful work your charity is undertaking to support our community. So, our agency would like to put forward Uttoxeter Gateway Club to NFU Mutual to receive these funds.”

I was thrilled to read this email and swiftly responded.  I am delighted to say we have safely received this wonderful donation of £3221.50.  So many thanks to NFU Mutual, specifically Rosie at the Uttoxeter Branch of NFU Mutual, who persevered despite a few contacting issues (now ironed out).

But also thanks to you, our Facebook followers out there, who saw the link, shared it and most importantly named Uttoxeter Gateway Club.

We are delighted to have this boost to our funds and we are hoping to utilise the money for our members benefit very soon.
