I am writing on behalf of a community based event " The Stedham Wartime Weekend" we have for the past 4 years run our event to raise funds for a veterans charity called project 71 in August of each year . Unfortunately this charity has now wound up and we are now looking to raise funds in support of SSAFA for this years event.
Apologies my previous email made reference to another company , but we are emailing out with a wide reach .
We are an event that year on year is getting bigger and bigger and this year will have around 30 military vehicles , and various displays including including demonstrations of military equipment , historical talks , wartime musical entertainment, and a Barbecue. This year we will have a big focus on VE & VJ day with an appropriate memorial service held during the weekend , with some (regrettably few now) veterans invited to attend.
This is very much a family focused event with the opportunity for kids to "Clamber" on board some of the vehicles and be educated about the war and some of the major campaigns that took place.
We are also sponsored by The Village Pub who always provide a discounted Bar on the day with the proceeds going to your Charity also.
Last year we raised around £2700 pounds and would like to raise more this year.(any money collected in your buckets would go directly to SSAFA and your buckets would not be tampered with and kept securely prior to you collecting them)
If you wish to see some photos of a previous event please visit our Facebook page Stedham Wartime Group at ***************** (you may be asked to join to review but we are happy for you to do so)
We would also be happy to place links to EE on our social media by way of recompense. A "suitably themed banner from yourselves with a printed link to your current website to represent EE , any wristbands or t shirts give out to kids would be appreciated.
We are looking for either some kind of sponsorship or a " big ticket raffle prize" such as a weekend away for a raffle prize.
All monies raised will go to the SSAFA (Soldiers', Sailors' & Airman's Families Association)an important charity working with both the current Armed Forces and Veteran's.
If i have sent this to the incorrect team please forward appropriately
Thank you in advance for anything you may be able to offer.
Kindest regards
David Gladman (Committee Member) on Behalf of "The Stedham Wartime weekend"
