A new Peter Pan fundraising event has been organised for 2025 - a fun-filled bounce-a-thon for children to take part in!

Between Saturday 8th and Saturday 15th February get your children jumping and sponsor them for doing as many bounces as they can. Staff at the Peter Pan Centre will be recording bounces at every session in the nursery room and at Stay and Play groups, but we also encourage you to rebound, zip, leap and hop at home using whatever bouncy equipment you have - trampoline, bouncy castle, space hopper, even cushions on the floor!

Whether it's for a minute on one day or ten minutes each day - every bounce counts :-)

How do you get involved? It's really simple:

1. Get the Bounce-a-thon week marked in your diary or calendar

2. Create a page linked to this campaign (or you can donate directly to this page if you prefer)

3. Give everyone the link to your Justgiving page and share it as much as possible

4. You can also request a paper sponsorship form if you want to do some of your fundraising in the traditional way (email fundraising@thepeterpancentre.co.uk)

5. Get bouncing! Record the number of bounces your child or children do during Bounce-a-thon week and let staff know how they did so they can add these to any they may have done at the centre or at Stay and Play

So get ready to do your best Tigger impression and your fundraising will help the Peter Pan Centre continue to give children with special needs the best start in life. Don't forget to take photos to share with us too!
