Putney Sea Scouts Holding Boat Race Day Fundraiser


Annual boat race fundraiser in the Scout Hut


Previous event at the scout hut

The 5th Putney Sea scouts are inviting you to join them by the river on the day of the University Boat Race.

The children and families from beavers, cubs and scouts will be hosting a fundraiser on Sunday 3 April at the scout hut on Putney Embankment.

This is the first fundraiser for two years as they haven’t been able to organise anything during the pandemic.

The group are raising money to repair the roof and lighting at the scouts hut, which was damaged by a falling tree.

The fun begins are midday and there will be a bbq, bar and cake sale (cards and cash accepted).

The boat race will be shown on their big screen and everyone is welcome to pop in and watch the action.

There are also toilets which you can use in return for a donation.

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site.
