Rear Admiral Kehlan took part in the Great East Swim on 20th June 2015, swimming 1 mile in open water at Alton Reservoir to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. Amount raised for Macmillan was £1,054.77. A massive thank you to all who donated and offered their support.
Starbase 24 was proud to participate in a raffle organised to raise urgently needed funds for the people of Nepal after two major earthquakes which tore the country apart, killed thousands and left thousands more injured and homeless.
We donated two platinum tickets to our 2015 banquet and are happy to announce that a grand total of £1,402 was raised. Well done to all involved.
As the world went mad over the Ice bucket Challenge, the Command Team of Starbase 24 decided to take part, although we chose to fundraise for Just a Drop, an international water charity dedicated to providing safe, clean water to deprived communities across the world. (In light of the amount of water we wasted, it seemed appropriate.) We were able to raise £393.42 for this very worthy cause.
Starbase 24 held an impromptu collection in aid of Hedgehog Care at Authorpe near Louth. This amazing place, like so many small charities is in desperate need of help to keep running. They do a fantastic job and we are glad to help a little. We were able to raise £250.
