After our most successful fundraiser last year we have decided to build upon this in 2025 in fact we are attempting with your help to break our total raised last year.

As most of you will be aware last year we raised just under £15,000. We decided to do a half marathon sponsored run, cycle or a 10K walk, as well as an amazing raffle and most importantly over 100 participants. We decided to raise money for Nelsons Journey in memory of a special women called Lisa Ducker and secondly a very special boy called Rian who needed a defibrillator which wasn’t funded by the NHS, after such an incredible amount of money raised we decided to involve some more charities, which were linked to both Lisa and Rian, these included the N&N and Great Ormond Street Hospital.

So this year we have decided 50% of the funds raised will once again be used 25% to keep Lisa Duckers name alive and support the Mulbarton ward at the N&N and the other 25% to GOSH through Rians fundraiser to help with the ongoing support.

This leaves a very important 50% so we have decided this year we want the local people to have their say. Although we feel all big charities need all the support they can get we would like to help some more local families. We are asking for people to put forward a small local charity or family that may need the support as Rian did last year. Whether that is giving someone with a terminal illness an occasion to look forward to or a piece of equipment which would aid someone’s wellbeing which may not be funded by the NHS or any other local people that may be in need. Our fundraising team will then decide as a collective which we feel is a priority, but with our success last year and high expectations this year we are hoping to help as many people/families as possible.

Please don’t hesitate to get in contact and put your own ideas forward or a family/individual you truly believe needs our help. All applications will be kept confidential

After Wymondham’s overwhelming support last year, we are more determined than ever to help even more local people in need so once again Wymondham (surrounding areas) let’s do what we do best and get this community all together once again!
