The pandemic forced Billericay Mayflower Rotary Club to cancel most of its major fundraising events for 2020. Typically these would have raised over £30,000 for donation to charities. There is now a need to find new ways to fundraise for new charitable causes.

One of the major casualty groups of the pandemic is school children our next generation. Despite best efforts, nearly all areas of education have been compromised. Recovery of the extended period of lost classroom education is the Number One education priority and Billericay Mayflower Rotary Club is now leading a fundraising drive to be able to offer financial assistance to the schools in Billericay there are 12 schools supporting over 6500 children to augment their educational resources.

Billericay Mayflower Rotary Club created their Kids Fund which has already been able to provide financial support to several schools and organisations to assist in dealing with physical and emotional wellbeing matters. We now need to generate further income for this Fund and are joining in the national 5KMAY Run for Heroes campaign.

Mayflower High School students are adding their support to this 5KMAY Run for Heroes programme to raise funds for the Mayflower Rotary Kids Fund.

You are invited to support their efforts through sponsorship. Why not think about trying a challenge of your own to raise much-needed funds?
