The Club Charity for 2026 is Bucks Young Carers.
On Saturday morning 21st February 2026 we held our special charity coffee morning in support of Bucks Young Carers, and to present them with the money we raised over the past year. Laura, the charity’s School Lead, joined us to represent the organisation and gave a brief but enlightening talk about who the young carers are, what they do, and how the charity supports them in their daily lives. It was both moving and inspiring to hear about the difference this support makes to young carers in our community. Our club captains have decided to support them for another year. We were delighted to present a cheque for £650, along with a £100 charity voucher kindly donated by an anonymous donor. Photo: Our club captains with Laura. |
