2020
Covid 19 has hit all fundraising hard this year, and we are especially grateful for all the donations we receive. We have received donations from local companies including Glasdon and Beaverbrooks who support Tiggers regularly. Our members and their families have also been especially generous during 2020 when we have struggled to provide our services due to the Covid 19 safety restrictions.
​
Blackpool Accommodation (A Home from Holmes) very kindly held a raffle on their Facebook page which raised £450 for Blackpool Tiggers. Thanks to everyone who donated a prize or bought a ticket!
​
Grants were also awarded from Sport England and from Kentown Wizard, specifically to help Tiggers during the lockdowns and throughout the Covid 19 restrictions period. Without these grants Blackpool Tiggers would have been struggling to survive to the end of the year, and we are extremely grateful for their help.
