John Baron MP promises record bonus pay-out to charities at Fun Walk presentation on 30th October

MP will thank bonus pot sponsors and Barleylands Farm

John Baron MP has invited all those charities and good causes (projects) involved in the 2015 Fun Walk to a presentation of bonus pot cheques. The presentation will be held on Friday 30th October at 6:00pm. As in previous years, the venue is Anisha Grange Care Home, Outwood Common Road, Billericay, Essex CM11 2LE. This will also be an opportunity to thank the bonus pot sponsors and Barleylands Farm for their generosity.
Because of the generosity of corporate and individual sponsors, each project will receive a bonus over and above what they raise themselves in sponsorship. In 2014, for every £100 raised by projects in sponsorship, the bonus pot added a further £60. The total figures raised for 2015 [by both projects and bonus pot sponsors] will be made known at the presentation on 30th October.
All media welcome.
John said:
“The 2015 bonus pot sponsors have been integral to the Fun Walk’s huge success. Our thanks go to Swan Housing Association, c2c Rail, Butyl Products Ltd, Abellio Greater Anglia, Hallmark Care Homes, Barratt Homes, Private Ambulance Service Ltd, IFE Global Logistics, Finmeccanica – Selex ES, Ford Motor Company Ltd, Mr Barrie Stone, and others. Our host, Barleylands Farm has also been integral to the success.”
“Our presentation on 30th October will be an opportunity for over 100 projects who joined this year’s Fun Walk to say ‘Thank You’ to our sponsors and to Barleylands Farm for their generosity. We will also disclose total monies raised from this year’s walk. It was a great team effort.”
