THE Crediton ELF Fundraising Group would like to thank all our friends for your incredible support during 2024.
The group held a number of varied activities during the year, including skittles, a fantastic concert with the Stan Hacking Band, a Race Night, an amazing summer fete, the Big Breakfast and our annual quiz – not forgetting our regular meat bingo evenings.
These events, which were all well supported and supplemented by generous donations, raised an amazing total of over £12,600 for the Exeter Leukaemia Fund.
We are an enthusiastic, volunteer led support group based in Crediton and all of the money raised goes to support patients with blood cancer and other disorders across Devon through improved facilities, better equipment and the funding of research.
As just one example, with the proceeds from our September meat bingo we were able to immediately replace two broken fridges in the patient isolation rooms within the Chevithorne Unit at the RD and E.
Our first event of 2025 was a well supported Meat Bingo at the Crediton Football Clubhouse on Wednesday, January 22 and our next event is a Skittles evening at the Waie Inn, Zeal Monachorum on Saturday, February 22 - see below for the following dates for your diary.
We welcome teams of four, £10 per player, to include a £5 voucher redeemable on the night for food or drink.
Other forthcoming dates are:
Saturday, March 29 - Concert with the Stan Hacking Band at Crediton Congregational Church. Tickets £10 to include light refreshments.
Wednesday, April 16 - Easter Bingo at Crediton Football Club.
Wednesday, May 14 - Meat Bingo at Crediton Football Club.
Saturday, May 31 - Sea Shanties with Devon's own “Mariners Away” at Bow Village Hall. Tickets £10 to include pasty supper.
For more information on any of these events please text or call Glenn on 07977 916603.
