MP thanks sponsors and says more still to decide their contribution
John Baron MP today announced the Fun Walk Bonus Pot has already exceeded £22,000 and will rise further as a number of sponsors have yet to decide how much they will contribute. Each year, the bonus pot pays a bonus to the participating charities/projects over and above what they raise themselves in sponsorship.
In 2015, for every £100 raised in sponsorship by the various projects themselves, the bonus pot added a further £90. The Walk is set for 22nd May, again at Barleylands Farm – a factsheet is attached.
John said:
“The generosity of our Bonus Pot sponsors is appreciated by everyone. In addition to Barleylands Farm for hosting the Walk, our thanks go to this year’s sponsors so far – c2c Rail Ltd, Butyl Products Ltd, Hallmark Care Homes, Private Ambulance Service Ltd, Abellio Greater Anglia and IFE Global Logistics. It has started well, with a number of other sponsors still to decide how much they will contribute.”
