We have raised a whopping £8,336!

We have made a start on building towards our next £25,000 fundraising target through a great raffle and we would like to thank everyone who donated generous prizes and bought tickets from us. The prize list was fabulous, including a pair of tickets with full hospitality at the Wales v Ireland Guinness Six Nations game and a bunch of tech, such as top of the range large screen TVs, iPads, laptop, Apple Airpods, just to name a few.

We have had great fun organising this raffle and we are thrilled to have been able to raise a whopping £8,336!

What a pleasure to put smiles on the winners' faces too!

We have been supporting Action for Children for the past 5 years by raising funds towards their “Bouncing Back” Health & Wellbeing programme run in partnership with the Ospreys in the Community. With our regular support, the 2 charities help young people’s mental health and wellbeing through several engaging workshops.

The partnership has already seen over £30,000 raised and over 3,000 young people supported with increased self-esteem and mental health first aid.

Six weeks ago, we attended the launch of a new On-Target programme in a local secondary school to further enhance the support provided to pupils identified as being more at risk. These pupils have benefited from additional sessions over 6 weeks to help them build resilience and coping strategies. It's very hard to put into words the difference this programme makes to young people's lives.

Our next fundraising challenge will be a sleep out similar to the one we did back in 2019 organised in partnership with the Ospreys in the Community. It's called "Nestless Night" and will take place at the Swansea.com Stadium on February 17th.
Everyone is welcomed to join, as individuals or as a team, and each participant will be tasked to raise £150 in the lead up to the event.

For businesses, it's a great team building and networking event. The plan is to watch the Ospreys play Munster in a lounge, celebrate the fundraising efforts made by everyone taking part and hear from the Action for Children staff and ambassadors. We will then move outdoors to take on the challenge of sleeping outside. At 6am, bleary-eyed sleepers will be greeted with a bacon roll and hot drink to send them on their way, safe in the knowledge that they have helped make a difference.
If you would like to join us, please fill out the form on the Nestless Night page.

Alternatively, if you can't attend the sleep out event but still would like to help us reach our goal and make a donation, please click on this JustGiving page link and don't forget to add a little word of encouragement for our Philtronics Team!

Any donation, however small, will help us make a difference.

Many thanks for your support and have a lovely Christmas everyone!
