Charity Online Game Back By Popular Demand

Throughout December, a leading design agency in Shropshire has been raising money for Severn Hospice with an imaginative charity game.

Source of Shrewsbury revamped their much loved Charity Pairs Game for Christmas 2017, giving players the chance to win a daily prize donated by their clients. During the countdown to Christmas Source also committed to making a cash donation to Severn Hospice. The money was raised on behalf of every person who played the online game.

Raising Money For A Good Cause

Source is pleased to announce that they raised a total of £891 for the charity. “We are delighted to be able to make this donation. It is fantastic to support another great Shropshire charity”, said managing director Sally Tringham. “We had great fun creating the Christmas Charity Pairs Game. It is always exciting to see how many people enjoy playing it”.

She went on to say, “I would like to personally thank all of our lovely clients who donated a prize to the competition”. The list of prizes included an overnight stay at Darwin’s Townhouse and a supply of tasty snacks from Tyrrells crisps. Plus, a £100 Wilstone gift voucher, a drummer model from Timberkits and a two month subscription to B.Fresh juice, plus many more.

Source Donating Money Raised To Severn Hospice

The Coracle World Championships?! Whatever Floats Your Boat

Yes, that’s right. Just three months after the last event, Source are at it again; banding together and raising money for another worthy cause. This time, the event takes place on the banks of – or should we say “in” (probably!) – the River Severn. Once again, we’re delighted to be taking part in the Macmillan Coracle World Championships.

What is Coracle Racing?

Are you new to the idea of coracle racing? Essentially, the aim is to navigate yourself from one side of the River Severn to the other and back again, all whilst onboard a rather small, sometimes tough-to-steer coracle.
Taking part in the fundraising this time are Sally, Kit, Gareth, Mike, Nick and James. Whilst Sally, Gareth and Kit have seen their fair share of coracle races in the past, Mike, Nick and James are all new to the concept. However, on Friday 15th September, they’re all willing to set any apprehensions aside to brave the unpredictable River Severn and raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
If you’d like to support us, please feel free to come along to the Pengwern Boat Club in Shrewsbury Quarry at 3pm on Friday 15th September to motivate us with your cheers and well wishes. Or, even better, please dig deep and donate; every penny is welcome and your donation counts, no matter how big or small.
At the Race for Life event, the ladies of Source raised a whopping £1,057.50, so please help us again by making a donation here – https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/sourceshrewsbury.
It really is a fun day out and some of the fancy dress costumes are amazing! We’re delighted to be taking part again and we’re really looking forward to it. And, incidentally, the 15th September is actually Kit’s birthday – needless to say, one way or another, he’ll be going in the river for a good, old fashioned birthday dunking!
