BCLM played host to a Charity Firewalk on 20 April 2017, a fundraising event in partnership with Acorns Children’s Hospice. The Museum welcomed over 200 people on the evening and visitors enjoyed exploring site after hours, our delicious food & drink offer, craft activities, a 16-piece ukulele band and of course – a fiery grand finale.
56 brave individuals took part, including 19 BCLM participants who have collectively raised over £2,700 for a new learning space in St James’ School for children with special educational needs and disabilities. Thank you to our very own Lisa Cowley, Janet Brennan, Katy Price and trustee Nick Loveland for braving the heat and raising money for this worthy project.
The Learning Team are delighted with the result and hope to begin refurbishment on the learning space very soon. We’ll keep you updated with the progress.
On behalf of BCLM and Acorns Children’s Hospice, we would like to say a big thank you to all staff who supported the event, and in particular to our costumed demonstrators and volunteers who made the evening extra special for the participants, their friends and family.
We hope to build on the success of this event with more exciting community fundraising activities in the future. If you have an idea for a fundraising challenge then please get in touch with Katy Price, Development Manager (Projects) via [email protected]
