We’d like to say a big “thank you!” to the members of the Inner Wheel Club of Banbury who have been raising money for Redwings over the past year.

Outgoing President, Shelia, got to choose two charities to benefit from the group’s various fundraising activities throughout her year-long presidency and kindly picked Redwings! Events included a garden party, promise auction, fish ‘n’ chip supper, coffee morning and bring ‘n’ buy sale.

And this summer, Helen Glen, Farm Team Manager at our nearby Oxhill Visitor Centre in Warwickshire, was presented with a cheque from the Club for a wonderful amount that could pay for over 65 horses to be fed hay for a whole month!

Sheila said: “I live only a few miles away from Redwings Oxhill – I’ve visited myself and loved the horses. It’s very hard to have to choose a charity but no previous Club President had chosen an animal charity before and I knew Redwings would really benefit from the money raised.”

Originally formed as a group for the wives of Rotarians, membership of the Inner Wheel Club has expanded to include others linked to the Rotary family and like-minded women who enjoy coming together to help fundraise for charity and serve their local communities.

If you’re a member of a club or community group who is looking for a charity to fundraise for, please get in touch! If you have any questions about fundraising for Redwings, would like a fundraising pack or just need some encouragement along the way, call 01508 481000 or email info@redwings.co.uk.
