All money raised on the day will be spilt equally between ourselves and our two very worthy chosen charities
St James's Place
The St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation funds small and medium sized charities across the UK and overseas working with children who are disadvantaged physically, socially or economically. We also fund hospices, mental health charities and cancer support charities.
Christchurch Rowing Club
As all rowing clubs, we are always saving up for that next new boat. As you can imaging the equipment for this sport does not come cheap so every extra penny helps.
Scarf
Scarf (Supporting Children with Additional Needs, Relatives and Friends) is a charity based in the New Forest which organises regular term time clubs as well as holiday activities for children with additional needs such as Down's Syndrome, autism and cerebral palsy.
