Save The Falcon Campaign February Update - We're Halfway There!

It has been 10 weeks since we launched our The Save The Falcon Campaign following Leicestershire County Council’s (LCC) announcement to cease funding dedicated homeless support service in the the upcoming financial year.

We have hit an amazing 50% of our Target in which £100,000 of our target has been raised! This is all thanks to public donations, community groups, local businesses, generous speculative grants and our business champions.

Lee Hardy, Fundraising manager said "the response from members of the public, local business leaders and trust and foundations that we have reached out to speculatively, has been nothing short of amazing and just goes to show that people recognise the need for us all to come together and support those in society that are less fortunate than us. Thank you to everyone that has helped us reach this signifcant milestone in our campaign"

If you want to get involved in raising money for a worthy cause which affects the whole community, you can take part in any of our events or challenges coming up
