As Anne Bickmore Swimming has raised some thousands of pounds over a number of years through sponsored swims, it was decided to form a Fund of their own.

What do we do?

This Fund raises money to provide comforts for local disadvantaged children and their families. We hope to put a smile on the faces of families who live with illness and disabilities day in and day out, year in and year out.

How do we spend your money?

You will need to look at our donations list on our charity web page. We take socially deprived children from the local area on day trips. This year it was to London to visit the Science Museum.

We are busy planning Christmas and have 425 pantomime seats booked in Eastbourne again this year. We shall of course be doing our Christmas hampers again.

To date we have presented some 1,000 Spencer bears to the ambulance service for use on the A & E ambulances when dealing with traumatised children. Age Concern have also knitted 95 bears which have also been donated to the ambulance service in the area. The ladies of a local church also knitted some 200 bears and put them into bags.
