Each year, the club chooses a new registered charity as the beneficiary for its fundraising efforts.
Listed below are some of the charities we have helped in recent years.
2010/2011 - Help for Heroes
The charity is strictly non-political and recognises that war happens under any government and at times is unavoidable. However, this does not detract from the fact that there are casualties of war, and due to the commitment and sacrifices our servicemen and women make, it is even more important that they are supported and provided with aftercare should they suffer mental scaring, injury or worse still amputation.
The total donated to the charity was £1182.61
2009/2010 - RSPCA
The RSPCA work tirelessly to deal with all animal welfare issues. The organisation will, by all lawful means, prevent cruelty, promote kindness to and alleviate suffering of animals.
The RSPCA also provide a 24 hour emergency cover for any animal that requires rescuing or treatment. The RSPCA receives no lottery or government funding and relies on public donations and legacies even though many people see the RSPCA as an emergency service for animal welfare. The total donated to the charity was £1384.77
2008/2009 - Leuka
The chosen registered charity for 1st March 2008 until 28th February 2009 was Leuka. Leuka is dedicated to raising funds to support research into the causes and treatment of leukaemia and the monies will go directly to Hammersmith Hospital, which is the national research centre for this disease. The total donated to the charity was £1188.50
2007/2008 - Breast Cancer Care
From 1st March 2007 until 29th February 2008, Breast Cancer Care received the monies generated from the sales of the UKC Club Calendar, the raffle / auction at our annual Picnic in the Park (PITP) event and a number of other fundraising methods. The total donated to the charity was £2197.02
A big thank you goes to everyone who helped raise the monies -
well done to you all!
