The profits are directed towards ensuring that all children get to go on a residential trip during their time at Town Fields. Currently the focus of that is the Parsons House visit, and with expanding member numbers, we will broaden it to other activities.
Where do the funds go?
Over recent years the money raised has been used for:
Christmas Presents and Parties
