Over the years National Association of Ladies' Circles members have worked to support numerous local, national and international charities. In 1958 NALC voted to adopt The Imperial Cancer Research Fund (now merged with Cancer Research Campaign and known as Cancer Research UK) as a national charity. In 2006/07 alone NALC was proud to present a cheque to Cancer Research UK for over £28,000, also a cheque for over £17,000 for DeBRA, which was the National President's chosen charity for the year. Circlers raise these funds in a variety of interesting and active ways by means of events such as sponsored abseils, long-distance bike rides, assault courses etc. Our Circle, too, has done its bit to raise funds for charities both locally and nationally. A regular fund raiser is having a home-made cake stall in the farmers' market marquee at Hayfield Country Show every September.  Hayfield Country Show, cake stall 2006 Some of us have run the Race for Life and we always assist Round Table when it is time for Santa's sleigh to visit local children around the streets of Glossop and Hyde. You can see from the photographs below how we enjoyed raising funds and on the right there are details of some of the many charities who have benefited from our fundraising in recent years. Much of the money raised goes to local charities. We have to say, we have enjoyed every minute of it.  Marshalling at the Race for Life 2007  Race for Life 2005  Picnic after the Race for Life 2005 |
