FUNdraising
We undertake a number of fundraising activities
and we are extremely grateful to everyone who
supports these events in any way and for the
donations that we receive!
The Bruce Trust is a non-profit organisation. In
light of this and the fact that we are often
working on specific projects to expand and
further improve The Bruce Trust, we have a
number of local groups who assist us with
regular fundraising events as well as
individuals who come up with their own unique
way of raising money for us.
Please read on to find out more about how you
can help us fundraise through the following
routes:-

50:50 Club
The 50:50 Club was initiated by one
of our enthusiastic volunteers, Mike Lang, around 20
years ago. Since then, it has raised an amazing £25,000,
which has been used specifically to repair and maintain
the boats and help keep them in their usual, pristine
condition. Over the years, the members of the 50:50 Club
have inevitably dwindled and we have now decided that,
as it is now 9 years since we gifted the Trust’s four
boats to the Kennet & Avon Canal Trust, it is sadly time
for us to disband the 50:50 Club. Please rest assured
that the Bruce Trust continues to make its own regular
donations
to the Bruce Boats at the Bruce
Branch and if you would still like to support the Bruce
Boats directly, then please contact Ali Cannon, the
Branch Chair, on:
bruceboats@katrust.org.uk.
Thanks to Mike Lang
The Trust would like to say an
enormous thank you to Mike for creating the 50/50 Club
(detailed below) 13 years ago and running it since then
as a very dedicated volunteer. At the start he designed
a random number generator on his computer, which has
been used every month since to produce the winning
numbers, he has regularly gone through the monthly bank
statements and kept the spreadsheet of participants up
to date. Through this dedication and hard work, he has
enabled the Lottery Club to generate a much-appreciated
income of over £20,000 during this time, all of which
has been used to help maintain the boats. Mike has
recently decided to retire from this role and we wish
him all the best for the future and thank him
whole-heartedly for his support to The Bruce Trust over
the years.
For any further information about fundraising for The
Bruce Trust please contact Rebecca Bruce at enquiries@brucetrust.org.uk or
