Who's behind Bummit?
The main aim of Bummit is not only to have fun and make new friends but to raise money for charity. We ask each participant to raise a minimum of £200 so dig deep and give them all your money!
For ideas on how to raise money, check out the uder fundraising pack. This is available as a PDF from here.
The charities that we will be fundraising for so far are:
Catch 22 – this provides a service to 15 to 25 year olds involved in criminal activities, these people have the potential to offend, and they are offered counselling and education. This charity works with their families and communities so that young people become more productive, independent and therefore the whole community benefits. Over the years, they have worked with tens of thousands of people for young people in difficult situations.
Fable – this charity promotes awareness of epilepsy through education and publicity with money used towards Vagus Nerve Stimulation Therapy which is a treatment for those with epilepsy which cannot be controlled with medicine alone. They support the Epilepsy Information Drop in Centre in Sheffield and help the family of those affected by this condition.
Both charities are based in the Sheffield area with the money given locally meaning Bummit is helping to improve the local area.
