Over £8,000 was raised directly by the event for good causes in 2017. That does not include funds raised by charity stalls themselves and raft teams collecting sponsorship for their own charities.
The cheques (£3,331.00) were presented to the 2 main charities - The Evergreen Care Trust and the Deepings Youth Group.
Other smaller amounts were donated to various community groups, some of which provide assistance with such tasks as marshalling. These include: £500 to Roads of Remembrance (supporting Scotties little Soldiers). £500 to Parkinsons UK, £200 to the Peterborough 115 sqn Air Training Corps, £100 to Baston C of E School for winning the banner competition.
We were also able to hand over to our main charities two further cheques (£150 each) which were kindly given to us by Howdens of Bourne.
