Hello and thank you for visiting our fundraising page. My name is Leon and together with my family we kindly ask to support our worthy cause which is to raise funds to build an all weather multi use games areas (MUGA) at my school.
The King’s School is a small school in the village of Fair Oak, Eastleigh. For sports we use grassed areas which are unusable in winter or when it rains as the surface becomes soggy and muddy. My school has to rent a MUGA pitch in another village in order for our pupils to have sports activities in all weather. However, it is a bit remote and it takes away from time we have for sports activities and is also costly for the school.
The King’s School needs to raise £110,000 for MUGA. If you can help us towards the MUGA pitch cost, the parents and the pupils will be endlessly grateful for this kind gesture.
What we are doing:
As an appreciation for your kindness, my mother has crocheted 25 bird nests for HART Wildlife Rescue which provide rescue, treatment and rehabilitation service for a few thousand of wildlife every year in Hampshire and surrounding counties. The crochet nests will be used to keep orphaned, injured or sick baby birds and small mammals (e.g. baby squirrels, baby hare or fox pups) cosy and warm. For this challenge I donated my pocket money towards buying yarn as I am very slow at crocheting.
Thank you very much for reading our fundraising message and for your support!
Leon and Victoria
The nests are now with HART Wildlife Rescue
