Life as one of the Mayor's charities

mayor of bournemouth attends crumbs easter event

Applying to be chosen as one of the charities within the benefit of the new Mayor’s Charity Appeal brought a wealth of experience as well as a measure of hard work!

Events were chosen, planned for and run. Prizes were sought for the many raffles and auctions: tickets to the events had to be sold. We would like to thank the Donors for the Bonnet Competition prizes, which included the Mayflower Theatre, Southampton: Paulton’s Park, Romsey: Bournemouth Oceanarium: Holton Heath: the Odeon Cinema and the donor of the gift of a beach hut for the weekend.

The Mayor’s Easter Fair proved to be a happy day. Twenty six primary & junior schools were approached to take part in the bonnet competition & the winners were well pleased with their prizes.

Crumbs Celebrates Big Lottery Fund Grant

Launch of CRUMBS Phase Three: Making Connections, an Outreach Programme courtesy of the Big Lottery Fund, will further support our trainee workforce in their first encounter with employment opportunities in a variety of differing settings.  This will be linked into a Drop-In Club designed to allow feed-back and further support to identify problems and seek solutions.  Our Mentor, the Development Manager post now being funded, will offer support to members of the workforce and employers alike.  Target, more sustainable employment.  We expect to increase the numbers in training as this service is up and running.
