Chipping in for carers
As the sun comes out our fantastic
fundraisers don their sports kit and
raise vital funds for Carers UK
From the Brighton 10K and
half marathon to a golfing
day in sunny Northwood
(below), the past few months
have been jam-packed on
our fundraising calendar. The
golfing day raised more than
£5,000 – enough to fund
our Adviceline for a working
week! The gruelling London
Marathon, is always a real
highlight as Carers UK staff
take to the streets to cheer
on our flock of runners.
In April #TeamCarers hit the
streets for the 2017 race.
As well as conquering the
26.2 mile challenge, our five
runners raised a staggering
£10,200 to support carers
across the UK.
A huge thank you and
congratulations to the team
for a fantastic achievement!
Care for a Laugh
On a not so sunny evening
in June over 200 people
gathered at the Comedy
Store, London for a night of
comedy at Carers UK’s first
ever Care for a Laugh.
With a host of comedians
including Adam Buxton, Rob
Deering and Neil Mullarkey
the event had a comedian to
satisfy every laughter need.
Witty, silly, satirical and
occasionally ludicrous the
crowd-pleasing event raised
a fantastic £1,300!
