“Hold a Fish and Chip Supper to help
spinal cord injured people live full and independent lives.”
Great British Fish
and Chip Supper – Friday 18th May 2012
Want to do something
different? Want to raise money where you live or work? Want to eat Fish and
Chips, while raising money for charity? Hold a fish and chip supper on Friday 18th
May 2012 whilst raising awareness of spinal cord injury and supporting SIA’s
information and support services.
You can hold a fish
and chip supper in your own home, at work or hold a larger supper at your local
community centre.
SIA will provide a
fundraising pack containing hints and tips, recipes, invitations and donation
envelopes. By inviting 7 friends and asking them to donate an additional £5.00
means you will raise at least £35.00 from your supper but we will also give you
additional fundraising ideas to raise even more money for SIA.
Last
year we had over 100 suppers taking part in England and Wales and we raised
£6,000. In the three years we have been running the event we have raised
£20,000 to support spinal cord injured people.
The money raised from the suppers will
help the Spinal Injuries Association offer support to individuals who become
paralysed and their families, from the moment a spinal injury occurs, and for
the rest of their lives by providing services and publications which enable and
encourage paralysed people to lead independent lives.
Every year in the UK over 1,000 people
experience a spinal cord injury and there are an estimated 40,000 spinal cord
injured people in the UK alone.
Community Fundraising Officer, Elizabeth
Wright, says, “The Fish and Chip Supper is a wonderful opportunity for a great
evening with friends and family. We are also encouraging people who work to
hold a Fish and Chip Lunch in their work places to raise even more funds. You
may be even a local community group wanting to run a fun evening with your
group.
Be a part of something special and make a
real difference to help spinal cord injured people gain access to the information
and support they need to enable them to live full and independent lives.”
