Fox`s Charity Car Boot Sale
On the 30th of June, Fox's Platoon held a charity car boot sale on Bishop Fox's field and with the help of Fox's cadets and adults the event was very successful. Approximately 400 people attended including those who came to set up the car boot sale.

Not only was there a great interest in the car boot sale but the other stalls such as BBQ, face painting, cake and sweet sale, Laser -lock on shooting game, raffle, tom bola, military radio command task and camp craft stand.

The raffle was a real success as it drew a lot of people. There were excellent prizes, which included a tour around orchard fm studio and a limo ride. Overall we raised approximately £450.

All the proceeds made from the event have gone to a project called Seeds of Hope. The project is organised by a charity called 'Soap box'. The aim of the project is to raise awareness and money for a primary school in a Kenyan slum, which Sjt Gray visited in the February half term of this year.

As it is going to be knocked down this summer, the money is going to be used to relocate and rebuild the school. The money has been added to the total raised by several schools over the last year. This event has meant that we are now over the target amount of £22 500. So Becky (co- organiser) and Sjt Gray would like to say a BIG thank you to all those involved with the running of the event as it is greatly appreciated by all those involved in the project. Also Sjt Gray personally would like to thank all the adults at Fox's Platoon for supporting her with organising the event.

For more details on the charity and project you can visit the website: www.soapboxtrust.com. This also has video footage of the project (including those who went on the trip!).


This is the primary school, which is going to be knocked down. It currently provides an education for 200 children out of a million people living in the slum. Education is their only way out!
