Raise
money for your local community…
By joining
as a Community Fundraiser (CFR), which
costs just £25, and encouraging your supporters
to use the Utility Warehouse's services, you could generate
a substantial new source of income to re-invest in your
community.
As a CFR you have the opportunity to build a regular and
growing income to invest in your local community, simply
by encouraging your supporters to save money by using
these services. Whether you are a school looking to raise
money for new computers, books or playground equipment,
a youth group trying to raise money for a special outing
or annual camp, a charity looking to increase its income
or a religious community looking to fund a capital building
programme, the CFR position is the ideal solution. The
Utility Warehouse provides you with a selection of posters
and other promotional items, together with letter templates
for you to send to your supporters. All they need to do
is call a freephone sign-up line, and your community will
start to benefit from a share of everything they spend
- forever!

One
of Brixham's hidden gems is the SATURDAY
MORNING ART & DRAMA CLUB.

with friends and maybe make some new ones! The club is
for children ages 4+ and runs from 9.30am - 12.00pm at
The Lighthouse Gallery in Brixham Community College. The
club costs £5 per session and there is no need to
book for the term. You can just drop in and have fun!
