The Barlows Foundation has donated £8,500 throughout 2024
Family Funday 2024
For the second year in a row we hosted our Family Fun Day in Memory of Jacob 'Jay' Holden to raise an incredible £3,100 for three fantastic causes. Despite the Great British weather trying to blow us all away, the day was filled with activities, laughter, and shared purpose as we rallied support for causes that are close to our hearts.
The funds were distributed as follows:
- £500 to support Vega, a determined young girl from the village of Marbury living with cerebral palsy. Vega is on a journey to raise funds for stem cell treatment abroad, and we are proud to contribute to her goal of achieving.
- £1,000 for Dynamic Wrexham, a center in North Wales providing invaluable services to children and young people with disabilities, offering support, resources, and activities that helps families beyond what they could ever ask for.
- £1,600 to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, a charity that has become extremely close to Barlows and the annual funday, as it was a charity our late colleague and dear friend, Jay Holden wanted to support as much as he could.
Charity Golf Day 2024
Earlier this year, the Barlows Foundation teed off its first ever Charity Golf Day. We are thrilled to share that the event was a great success, raising an impressive £5,300 for two incredible causes.
The funds were distributed as follows:
- £2,000 to the Swan End of Life Care Appeal, a charity dedicated to supporting patients and families during life’s most challenging moments.
- £3,300 to the Cancer Research Fund of Mid Cheshire Hospitals Charity, helping advance research and improve care for patients in the fight against cancer.
Thank You
The Barlows Foundation would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who joined us this year in raising awareness and funds for such incredible causes. Your support has been invaluable, and we’re already looking ahead to 2025 with excitement as we plan new ways to bring our communities together and make a difference for local causes.
In addition to our special events, we’ve been hosting ‘Foundation Fridays’ on the last Friday of each month. These fun-filled days featured themed dress-ups, internal raffles and fun quizzes —all in support of some amazing causes.
If you know of a charity or cause that the Barlows Foundation could support in the future, we’d love to hear from you! Please reach out to us at hello@barlowsuk.co.uk.
Once again, thank you for helping us make a positive impact.
