One of out fund-raising activities is a stall at the annual Shepton Mallet Collet Day, held 2nd Saturday in June.  2008 saw the unveiling of our new sign and logo.  I wonder who one the Teddy in the tombola?

Another fund-raising activity at Collect day in 2008 was a "Get your own back on a teenager".  Teenagers volunteered (!) to sit in an old bath, and people paid to pour custard over them!  Our thanks to the teenagers, to Jackie for the idea, and to everyone who helped and contributed.

YMCA Graitti Board

The Grafitti Board, the work of residents of Spencer House, Wells.  August 2007 Christmas Meal at Spencer House.  YWAF funds enable young people living in supported housing projects to have a better life, and do things together.  Activities that would not otherwise be possible when living on a grant.

August 2004, Wells Raft Race.

Most years, the City of Wells Lions club runs a raft race in the moat to raise funds for Bishop’s Charity.  In 2004, we were honoured to be be the Bishop's charity.  We entered our own raft.  Our first attempt at this event.  It was hard work, but enjoyed by all.  What is more, money was raised for YWAF, and hence the young people of Mendip.
