With the holiday season approaching, we at the 19th St. Matthew’s Group in High Brooms are excited to share that proceeds from our Community Christmas Raffle will be used to support a wide range of essential programs and resources for our young members. Funds raised will directly contribute to much-needed equipment, enriching outdoor activities, camps, and trips that many children in our community rely on for unique experiences. Given the rising costs of running our programs, including expenses for basic items such as foam balls costing £10 each and significant costs like coach trips priced over £1000, your support is more vital than ever. Additionally, these funds will help cover operational necessities like online subscriptions, insurance, and achievement badges, which celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of our group. Thank you for purchasing raffle tickets and helping us bring joy and invaluable opportunities to over 120 young members. Your generosity makes a tangible difference in sustaining our programs and nurturing the community spirit. Prizes that cannot be emailed will need to be collected, this will be arrange once the winners are announced and you will be contacted. Collection will either be from the St Matthews School in High brooms(this will also need to be arranged for when our scouting group are there - not the school) or Tunbridge Wells, near the town center.
