Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I want to raise some money for our Bun Penny Club which, like many other charities, has lost many fundraising opportunities due to the pandemic. They work so hard to provide valuable social events for older people in Sissinghurst who live alone. I have been trying to learn to swim on and off for years but my fear of water always beats me. The chance to help this charity is going to spur me on to achieve my aim before my 70th birthday.

About the charity

Sissinghurst Bun Penny Club

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1031529
Sissinghurst Bun Penny Club is a registered charity (1031529) which supports single people over the age of 65 living in the Parish of Sissinghurst by taking them out for a Summer afternoon tea and providing a Christmas lunch. It was formed in 1959 and, to raise funds, Victorian "Bun Pennies" were originally collected. These were coins showing the Queen with her hair done up in a bun. As these became rare, new ways to raise money had to be found. including quizzes, sponsored challenges, coffee mornings and donations. Your support of this deserving Charity is much appreciated. For further information, the charity can be contacted at bunpennyclub@mail.com
