Brentford Day Nursery Charity Fundraising
Since starting in 1989, Bringing Up Baby has a long history of fundraising for various charities and our Brentford Day Nursery has contributed to improving the lives of others with its activities to raise money for good causes.

No matter how large or how small the amount, the staff, parents and children have been busy in the past few years with a number of activities.

In 2009 we raised money for The Barnados Big Toddle managing a total of £957.20, quite a feat for a small nursery. In addition, money was raised for The Wish House (£25.00) and The Rifles (£25.00) a charity which supports the widows of soldiers. Even though these amounts may be considered realtively small, we believe that in doing our part these small amounts will eventually add up. The Dad’s Day raised more than £250.00 for the Kid’s company in Camberwell, a charity which helps vulnerable and traumatised children.

In 2010 £125.00 was raised for Children in Need while this year 2011 £39.00 has been raised so far for the Brain Injury Centre.

Bringing Up Baby also has its own charity that it supports throughout the year and for 2011 our chosen charity is Mary’s Meals. Set up in 2002 by Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow with the aim of setting up school feeding projects in communities where poverty and hunger prevent children from gaining an education, Mary’s Meals is a simple idea – one meal given every day to an impoverished child at school.
