Sci-Tech will be supporting the Children's Adventure Farm Trust (CAFT) for 3 years starting from 1st April 2024. Their objective is to raise a minimum of £30,000 over those 3 years, but they hope to raise more!
Campus staff will be encouraged to support CAFT by participating in sponsored challenges, attending events and volunteering at the charity's 10 acre site.
This partnership will be launched during a 3 day event on campus on Tuesday 16th - Thursday 18th April 2024. Each day representatives from CAFT and the Sci-Tech Charity Committee will have stands at the following locations, and will be asking campus staff to join together to raise £2,000. The Sci-Tech Daresbury JV board have also committed to match any money raised during these three days, so it's hoped that a total of £4,000 will be raised.
Tuesday 16th April 11am - 1pm Innovation Centre
Wednesday 17th April 11am - 1pm Waterside Cafe
Thursday 18th April 12noon - 2pm Restaurant
This money will provide free entry and transport to CAFTfest for us to 200 individuals from Halton, the equivalent of 50 families of 4, during the charity's three-day festival in June.
