CHILDREN IN NEED: November 2024, in conjunction with our “sister” club Southgate bridge club we raised a magnificent £1,000 (including some gift aid) for this fabulous cause.  Many thanks everyone!

CHILDREN IN NEED: November 2023, Thank you to our players and our benefactors  (both on line and Face to Face) we raised a total of £771.  A Big Thank you!

NORTH LONDON FOOD BANK : After the Inter Hemispheric challenge event at the beginning of July 2023 (where we raised £228) , we continued to raise funds from Online & Face to Face benefactors - including our former landlord of our Sheldon Avenue premises until we parted with these funds on 7th August - on what would have been the 96th birthday of one of the principal stalwarts of our F2F club in Highgate (ie the late Betty Bobbe, who sadly passed away shortly before her 95th last year)  A total of £643 was raised directly from the club and we have been advised of another £66 raised indirectly (which has been Gift Aided) making a grand total of £731 contributed towards their FBA's summer holiday appeal.

In April 2023 we took part in another simultaneous DEC - on behalf of Turkey & Syria Earthquake appeal and raised £164 from our online participants.

At a Committee Meeting held in December 2022 it was agreed to donate in total £12,000 of funds across 3 charities (reducing the Club's surplus of funds which had been built up over many years from members to £9,000) - 

£4,000 to MACMILLAN CANCER SUPPORT : 9 January 2023 ; £4,000 to NSPCC Finchley Friern Barnet & Whetstone District  22 December 2022  and £4,000 to NORTH LONDON HOSPICE: 21 December 2022. 

                             This was following the agreed change in the constitution on 27 August 2022 Article 16.
