The past few weeks have seen Freewheelers raise a significant amount of money at two different events.

The first event was Weston Beach Race, a motocross race that is held every October on the beach at Weston-super-Mare. This is normally a huge fund raiser for Freewheelers and this year was no different. Despite the downpour on Sunday we managed to raise £1478. See our gallery for pictures taken at the beach race.

The second event was Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival. Bridgwater is the biggest and oldest carnival in the Somerset winter carnival circuit. Freewheelers first ever attendance at the carnival was organised by Alison Mayer, an information Manager at the South West Public Health Observatory in Bristol. Alison heard about Freewheelers through the work that we do for the hospitals in the Bristol area. Alison worked hard to bring together around 20 colleagues and Freewheelers volunteers to collect money from the public at the carnival. In total we raised £653. Freewheelers would like to thank Alison and her colleagues for their support. Without Alison's help we would not have attended the carnival and raised such important funds. See our gallery for pictures of the event.
