🏇 * IT’S BACK!!! * 🏇

Charity Horse Racing Evening - Saturday 7th November! 🐎

If you were lucky don’t join the fun last time.. you’ll know! If not now’s your chance! 🐎🏇💥🏇🐎

Marc Risby, is one of our dearest ( and once again nearest!) locals and the brains (and tech) behind these racing shenanigans. You may know him!

❤️ He is hosting this event in aid of Hitchin Choices, a weekly special needs youth club attended by his daughter & many other wonderful local young people. It’s one of the very few social groups for youths with additional needs locally and it’s truly a special place providing accessible activities and events for 20+ young people. Unfortunately funding has recently been pulled and to continue they must find funding or face closure. ❤️

🐎💥🐎
So, Marc’s pal & Race Master, Scott, has offered his services to host a virtual horse racing night.
There will be... a race card of 6 virtual races complete with betting and prizes, food will be provided as part of the package for only £22 which includes a £5 donation to the group. Opportunities will be available to sponsor races and horses too for a small donation.
🐎💥🐎

❤️ So grab your nearest and dearest and join us for an evening of outrageous fun raising money for Hitchin Choices Youth Group! ❤️

FUN to be had PRIZES to be WON 🏆💰🏆

Space is limited so holla if you’re in! 🏆🐎💰🐎🏆

AND BRING CASH ON THE NIGHT! 💰💰💰

What a super cosy Saturday coffee morning. Not quite the Highlander coffee mornings of old but very special and always just such a treat to catch up with some lovely people.

Can you help us or know someone that can?

We’re looking for somewhere in Hitchin where we can place 2 secure cabins ( 1 x 24’ and 1 x 20’) which has been generously donated by Sunbelt Rentals UK to support A Little Something!

The units are insulated and have flooring which will be wonderful as we currently have a storage unit with no power, insulation etc so winter can be tricky for us. It would be wonderful to have somewhere that our families can come to visit and pick their own items, and even a cup of tea! Therefore if the location has access to mains and waste, it would be AMAZING!

We know it’s a big ask but we would love to have a chat if you have a space available—or know someone who might. Your help could make a real difference in helping us store and provide essential items for local families 🤝

A special thank you to Emily at Sunbelt who has made this possible, we are so grateful to you and all at Sunbelt for this amazing opportunity!

Thank you for reading and for sharing - please do get in touch 🫶🏻
