Footsteps Foundation is taking part once again in this year’s Small Charities Week Auction organised by the FSI. We have three fantastic money-can’t-buy prizes up for grabs and we hope to raise enough money from them in order to fund vital therapy for disabled children accessing the Footsteps therapy programme. Items include:

•  1,227 GI Facts signed by Stephen Fry and Alan Davies
•  The Noticeably Stouter Book of General Ignorance signed by Stephen Fry
•  The Discretely Plumper Second Book of General Ignorance signed by Stephen Fry

The eBay auction is open for ten days, running from 7pm on the 17th June until Sunday 30th June. The highest bid for each item will be donated directly to Footsteps Foundation, allowing disabled children to reach their full potential through intensive physiotherapy. Lets get bidding!

The Wallingford Methodists Friendship Group invite you to their fundraising lunch in aid of Footsteps Foundation. The lunch takes place on Sunday 30th June between 3 – 5 pm at the Church Hall, Wallingford Methodist Church, St. Leonard’s Square in Wallingford.

The Friendship group are also appealing to locals to do some sort of small sponsored activity to raise money for Footsteps Foundation, whether it be a DIY activity, a garden chore or a sponsored walk. Sponsorship forms can be collected from the Atrium at the Methodist Church.

Our very own Centre Manager here at the Footsteps Centre took on a very challenging walk with her husband Angus to help raise vital funds for disabled children in need of intensive physiotherapy.

Kirsty and Angus took on an incredible 91 miles over the Bank Holiday weekend as they walked across the Ridgeway National Trail end-to-end. After long days and uncomfortable nights in their tiny tent, they made it to the end and have so far raised £700 in doing so.

Even with blisters galore and limping legs, both Kirsty and Angus are pleased to have completed the challenge in aid of the children at Footsteps and are thankful for the support they’ve been given.

One of our valued fundraising committee members – Jenny, and her family held the fort for Footsteps at the Chalgrove May Day Festival.

They sold children’s books, lovely plants and ran a tombola. The weather was beautiful too!

Thanks to their efforts, £130 was raised for Footsteps Foundation.

The Burpham Juniors FC Hawks U11 Football Team have just retained their Surrey Primary League Premiership title and the boys have proudly been sporting their new t-shirts displaying the Footsteps logo.

Not only are the boys playing great but they look great too! Keep up the good work!

The Queen’s College Ball committee and Jaguar Energy Drinks jointly decided to donate £500 to Footsteps Foundation in the lead up to the university’s prestigious event.

Dr. Amit Sra, Director of Jaguar Energy Drinks, visited the Footsteps Centre along with members of the Ball Committee and presented a cheque to Finn during his therapy session in the ‘Spider’.

Thank you to the Queen’s College Ball Committee and Jaguar Energy Drinks from all at Footsteps!

Local businesses Grundon Waste Management and Jennings are all set to hold coffee mornings, raffles and cake sales to show their support of Footsteps Foundation on the 17th May (Footsteps Friday).

The wacky team at Jennings held a ‘Where’s Wally’ Day in aid of Comic Relief. They kindly donated half of the money raised to Footsteps Foundation.

Thank you to the ‘Wally’s at Jennings; you look great!
