Dear Friends of Botley Bridges,
As autumn leaves fall and families gather for half-term, we’re reaching out to our wonderful community with both gratitude and hope. This half-term, we’re launching a special fundraising week to ensure we can continue supporting local families. While demand for our services has grown this year, our resources are stretched thin – and we need your help to maintain and expand our work in our community.
Our Impact in Numbers
This year alone, your support has enabled us to:
- Welcome dozens of families across 40+ baby groups and stay & play sessions
- Launched our NEW forest stay & play sessions, bringing outdoor adventure to our littlest community members
- Guide parents through essential First Aid and Positive Parenting courses
- Lead over 30 Wednesday buggy walks, promoting both physical health and social connections
- Ran our summer programme with enriching trips to Oxford museums and park sessions
- Provide crucial support to children in need through our partnership with Botley School
But numbers tell only part of our story. What truly matters are the friendships forged, the support networks strengthened, and the countless moments of joy we’ve witnessed as children learn and grow together.
Here’s how you can help:
1. Attend Our Regular Sessions: We invite you to join our usual weekly sessions. These are great opportunities to connect with other families and experience first-hand the work we do.
2. Make an Extra Donation: While attending our sessions, we kindly ask if you could contribute a little extra. Every pound helps us extend our reach and improve our services.
3. Can’t Make It? Donate Online: If you can’t join us in person, you can still support our cause! Simply scan the QR code below to make a quick and secure online donation: https://www.paypal.com/gb/fundraiser/charity/3616316

- Organize additional children sessions
- Expand our parenting support programs
- Enhance our play facilities
Thank you for being part of our journey.
Warmest regards,
The Botley Bridges Team
