Fundraising News
Our 20p Snowdon Challenge has come to an end. The challenge was to raise enough 20p’s to reach the top of Mount Snowdon. Whilst we were unable to reach those heights we did raise £591.48. Thanks to everyone who supported us. We will be announcing who the winner of the “most unusual collection box” competition is and what we will be spending the money on in the New Year.

Many of you are already members of our 200 club and know it’s a great way to support us. Money raised by the 200 club members helped us purchase our new building. For those of you who are not yet members, our 200 club enters you into a monthly draw with a chance to win a cash prize. The more people who join the club the greater this prize will be.
This is how it works: Each member contributes £2 a month to the 200 Club by standing order. £1 out of every £2 goes to North Wales Deaf Association funds. The other £1 goes towards prizes. For more information how to join our 200 club go to https://sites.google.com/site/supportnwda/200-club
