Launch Event - Hoodies, Balloons, Plans & Friends!

 

The launch event was great! Meeting our friends from the selection weekend that had been selected as well was brilliant. Finding out more about the camps before the main WSJ trip and getting our hoodies made it all feel a bit more real. We also met the first four leader and they all seem lovely.

Fundraising wise we have been busy, lots of stuff has left our house including two stereos, famous five books, coffee machines, old tech, books and clothes. All stuff in good condition but that we didn't use. That along with money given to us for Christmas (Mum and Dad chucked theirs in the pot too) meant that we had enough to make the first payment of £1000 (£500 each) in January and a little left in the WSJ pot to go towards the next payment of £1100 in March. We have plans for fundraising later in the year but holding fire until the weather improves and Covid rates drop. Watch this space!
