We encourage fundraising for local schools, charities and community groups at the market by offering up our canteen, opportunities to hold raffles and by discounted stall hire rates. See which organisations will be at the next market and what they’re raising much needed funding for.

Sunday 10th January:

Blossomproject is a new program to support young women with anxiety and depression. The funds raised from the market will help to buy equipment to set up the program which begins in the second week of January 2010.

Blossomproject is an initiative of Reach Out Mental Health.

Nittaya serves to raise funds for those less fortunate by selling vintage, pre-loved and new fashion. A young woman’s desire to help under-privileged orphans in Thailand has inspired the creation of an online fashion boutique with a conscience. Nittaya sends a large percentage of its profits directly to local or international areas of need. The funds raised from this market will support Friends Vision, an organisation building children’s homes in Kenya…

The ladies from the Rotary Club of Dingley are selling an amazing range of jewellery at our July Market. Your purchase of an item from their stall will directly help fund a Rotary project for a child in a developing country.
In developing countries where health care and other social services are poor or non-existent, raising a child with a disability presents a significant burden to the whole family. Without a wheelchair, a child can be housebound and a burden for the carer, usually the mother. In many cases a child intellectually capable of attending mainstream school is denied the opportunity because of the absence of a wheelchair. The gift of a wheelchair gives twice.
