Chosen Charities for 2018





Age Concern Deepings Minibus Appeal will be the primary beneficiary. An equally shared secondary fund going to The Deepings Scouts and The Deepings Swimming Club.
A modest donation will also be made to a few other good causes.



The Deepings Raft Race Committee are pleased to announce that we will be supporting a number of good causes with the 2018 event.


We have had 13 applications and although we would have loved to help all of them, that would have diluted any proceeds to a level that may have given little benefit.


After much deliberation, we decided on a slightly different approach this year.


Letters have gone out to all applicants explaining the details of our decision but in brief, Age Concern Deepings Minibus Appeal will be our primary beneficiary with an equally shared secondary fund going to The Deeping Scouts and The Deepings Swimming Club.


A donation will also be made to the following:


The Carers Sitter Service: Friends of Jubilee Park: Faith's Journey.


Sue Ryder and St Georges Hydrotherapy Pool have been offered a share of our street collections in return for their assistance with our charity buckets.


You can help us to help these great causes by entering a raft team, becoming a sponsor, booking a stall, volunteering as a marshal or simply attending the event on 5th August 2018.
