A trampoline centre in Leicester is hoping children will be bouncing with joy after their fundraiser.
On Friday 15th December, trampoline park Flipout will be trying to raise as much money as possible for Leicester Hospitals Charity. The entry price for the day is free, but a Christmas jumper and a £3.00 donation is required. This event does not have to be booked in order to gain entry.
Director of the Leicester Flipout, Mo Patel, hopes that the day will raise around £3000 for the children’s charity. Mo said: “In order to push the fundraising even further, all of our staff at Flipout will donate their wages for the day and all the items that are bought from the café will be put in the charity box. We’re expecting to get really busy from 4pm. Overall we’ll have more than 300 people throughout the day.”
In addition to the Flipout social media pages promoting the fundraiser, the Leicester Mercury will be advertising the run up to the event.
Kamlesh Mistry, 38, who works at the charity said: “Flipout got in touch with us via the website, and they’re doing a trampoline day to raise money for the children’s wards at the Leicester Infirmary. It will be used for all sorts of things, like buying toys and equipment.”
If you want to donate to the charity, you can do so through their website.
