Fundraising
Four incredible members of Team Prior's Court have
completed an epic endurance challenge in aid of
the autistic young people with complex needs they
support day in day out.
Chris Sturm, Emily McEwan, Hannah Marcham and Lauren
Kingham all took on the Race to the Stones challenge on the
weekend of Saturday, 13 July and Sunday, 14 July, in aid of two of
our fundraising appeals.
Chris took part in both days of the Race to the Stones, completing
50km on the Saturday and 50km on the Sunday (100km overall),
raising more than £1,100 including gift aid for our Performing Arts
Centre fundraising appeal.
Emily, Hannah, and Lauren completed their 50km on the
Saturday, raising more than £1,700 for a new swing for our young
people to enjoy!
Four incredible volunteers decided that jumping out
of planes was the way they wanted to raise money for
Prior's Court!
Two of our brave Autism Practitioners, Javier Fernandez-Rios and
Myles Dezonie, took to the skies and jumped 15,000ft from a plane.
The pair have raised more than £550 toward our fun and recreation
opportunities, for the young people at Prior's Court.
Laura Hulin and Kelly Owen-Cox from our corporate supporters
Charles Hunter Associates also took part in a charity skydive and
between them, the pair raised more than £400 for our Performing
Arts Centre appeal.
