Elisabeth Svendsen Trust

Est Manchester's Spring Fair was held on Saturday 17th May 2010 and what a day it was! The sun shone all day and the hundreds of visitors were able to see the centre in all its glory. The grand total raised to date is a staggering £4,579.49 which is absolutely fantastic, so a massive thank you to everybody who contributed in any way, from donating your bric-a-brac, to baking cakes, helping to get the Centre ready and those who helped to park the hundreds of cars, but also to those many people who put their hands in their pockets and helped to raise such an amazing amount of money.

The cake stall alone raised £413, while 253 children rode the donkeys through the obstacle course or had a cart ride helping to raise £650. 22 people chose to adopt one of our lovely donkeys as well as make donations raising £422.

Holding these events are a huge part of our fundraising efforts as well as promoting the work that we do. So with one fair over, we turn our efforts to our biggest event of the year our Summer Fair, which will be held on Saturday 21st August 2010. Please watch this space for more details and if you think you may be able to help or know someone who can, please contact us.

Thank you again to everybody, from all at EST Manchester.
