Cheshire Scouts Newsletter – 13 December 2020
Cheshire Scouts Newsletter – 13 December 2020We’ve made it to the finish line! Collectively, they’ve travelled over 130,000 miles round the world, learning about different customs and cultures along the way through our range of globetrotting activities. They’ve also raised over £200,000 through sponsorship and a grand total of over £250,000 including direct donations, making a world of difference to the Scout Groups hit hardest by the COVID-19 crisis. The race may be finished but there’s still time to get your donations in to help us reach our magic £300,000 target. Remember every pound and penny raised will be match funded, too.. |
