Fundraising

As a registered charity, Bridge Village Playgroup regularly organises events to raise money.  Not only do these provide a great opportunity to involve the local community, but they also raise funds to pay for exciting activities and experiences for the children during their time with us. 

Grand Christmas Raffle

Our now-famous annual raffle has raised over £3,500 for Playgroup in the last few years.  Local businesses and individuals are always so supportive, and it's a chance to win a great prize!

Bridge Boot Fair


Another community event - our boot fair is held in June each year and brings together people from all over the local area.  

Other events


The committee runs regular events during the year for parents, including coffee mornings, where delicious drinks and cakes are on sale. A fantastic opportunity to meet other parents.

You can support us during the year by attending our events, and through the following schemes.

Co-op Local Community Fund

We have been chosen as one of The Co-operative’s Local Community Fund charities for 2022/23. This will raise funds for the further renovation of our outside space. 

In order to maximise the money we raise, we are asking everyone to sign up to be a Co-op member (it costs £1) and choose us as your cause of choice.  Then, whenever you shop with The Co-op (in-store, online, or use their insurance services) anywhere in the UK, 1p from every £1 you spend on their products will go to our fund!  The website also explains the benefits to you of being a Member.  If you’re already a Member, please select us as your cause.  Sign up here. The fund opened at the end of October 2022 and will run for 1 year.
