£2k Basepoint Match Funding boosts fundraising at Christmas Fair
Here at Basepoint Chepstow, we have been delighted to learn that match funding provided for a Christmas fair in Chepstow has helped to raise a massive £6,707.69 for our chosen charity, St David’s Hospice Care.
Tania Ansell, of St David’s Hospice Care, said: “The Christmas fair is always a great day and a welcome fundraiser for our charity. “The 2014 event was packed with more than 50 stalls and there was also live music, choirs, festive food, face painting, a raffle and the man himself, Santa Claus.”
The event, which is now in its fifth year and staged at St Pierre Marriott Hotel & Country Club was so popular that organisers had to make it a ticketed function. The total amount raised was boosted by £2,000 match funding provided by Basepoint’s parent company, The Act Foundation.
Liz Owen, of St Pierre Marriott Hotel & Country Club, said: “It’s a fabulous event that we’re happy to support which gets better and better each year.”
Centre Manager at Basepoint Chepstow, Tina Colegate, said “The Basepoint team in Chepstow are very proud to support St David’s Hospice Care and are looking forward to becoming involved in more successful events over the coming months.”
