Young fundraisers...

If you asked the average seven-year old boy what he wanted for Christmas or his Birthday, his answers could be anything from a Lego aeroplane to a petrol fuelled quad bike: not true of three generous boys from Oundle Primary School who, in the Christmas of 2012, asked their friends and parents for donations to be given to Ark in Oundle instead of receiving presents for themselves. The boys, Jakob Bonnett, Oliver Cruise and Dylan Turnells whose respective Birthdays are also 24^th , 25^th and 26^th of December wanted their donations to go towards the “PitStop Project”, the “Climbing tasters” and the very successful “Bush Craft” weekends that Ark runs. All three are active members of Oundle Juniors Football Club and recognised Ark from their logo as a named kit sponsor. Jonathan Ratcliffe went to see the boys today at their school to congratulate them on their generosity and to thank them in person (see pictures). The Team at Ark have promised the boys a chance to take part in a future Ark Bush Craft weekend when they are old enough. A massive thank you to the three fantastic and kind young fundraisers who donated a combined £134 to Ark.
