We are fundraising to support 2 charities, The Snappy Trust and The Give A Duck Foundation.

On the 14th & 15th September, Rus and Ryan (with a couple of extra team members) will be taking part in a 24 hour bowl-athon at Selby Superbowl. This is to raise much needed funds for these 2 fantastic charities.

We will have lots going on during the 24 hours including, raffles, donate to bowl lanes , DJ and much more. Please come down and give us some support on the day.

Here's a little bit of info about the 2 charities and the brilliant work they do.

The Snappy Trust is a small charity, based in York, dedicated to maximising the personal development of children and young people with wide ranging disabilities. We provide a community, rich in resources, that meet the needs of the children and young people who attend Snappy. Alongside this, we offer opportunities for them to explore new activities and gain life skills that may not be easily accessed elsewhere. Our wide mix of activities are designed to encourage personal growth and development. This community environment ensures that our children and young people can learn, develop and have fun with the same feeling and tone as their mainstream peers.

The Give A Duck Foundation is a children’s cancer charity, supporting local children who have been diagnosed with cancer throughout the UK. Chemo Duck is fitted with medical lines and ports to mirror those of the child. Play Leaders, through play therapy use Chemo Duck to prepare children for their treatment, be it an appointment with their Consultant, administering chemotherapy or taking blood samples. Children feel they can take back some control at a time when they have very little, for example by suggesting that nurses clean the Duck’s Hickman Line or Portacath before their own. Things are less scary if Chemo Duck experiences the treatment the children will go through and provides a relaxed way to have discussions about what will happen to them in hospital. We want to provide Chemo Duck packs to every specialist centre in childhood cancer in the UK. We work with the majority of the specialist childhood cancer centres in the UK and in partnership with some local children’s charities who distribute the ducks on our behalf. By working with health care professionals about the many uses and roles Chemo Duck can play during treatment, we know we can help make things a little easier at a really difficult time.
