Latest cheque presentation takes total donated to £10,000

Newhaven

On Monday, our Centre Manager Abbi was lucky enough to be invited down to join the team and residents at FitzRoy Newhaven for a morning of fun and games, and to present a giant cheque of £250 to the residents at Webb House. This latest cheque brings the total amount match funded to £10,000 over the past twelve months, a great achievement.

The entertainment started with a game of table top cricket, which was met with laughter and very enthusiastic players. Not only did the residents get to show their competitive streaks with table top cricket, but they also got to try their hand at Boccia and Curling Golf. These weekly sessions are run by a visiting sports instructor from a local leisure facility and it’s clear to see the residents thoroughly enjoy themselves.

Jim Apted, community and fundraising co-ordinator at FitzRoy said ‘the partnership between FitzRoy and Basepoint has been amazing for the residents of Webb house - not only have the sports activities been taking place in the new Lounge that Basepoint helped to fund, this year’s donations are going to renovate and extend a bathroom - an essential update to make it fully accessible and comfortable for people with physical disabilities.  Thank you to Abigail and everyone at Basepoint for the continued support and generosity’
