The Big Kick Off

Thank you to Hallmark Hotels for sponsoring this month's Big Kick Off and helping us raise funds for the Smile Foundation's Sports Initiative.

NEW FOR 2010 "The Big Kick Off" will run each month between April and October. We will be championing and focusing on one specific type of sport each month and it will be the main feature on the homepage. We are giving organisations the opportunity to "sponsor" one of the months, by simply pledging to raise a minimum of £500 in your chosen month - the more creative you are with your fundraising activities the better! To find out more call Andy Barber on 01482 333 999.
