Charity and the Community

Community Events

We do a lot around the local community, which also helps support us and keep us going. Each year we hold the Sendmarsh bonfire and fireworks display, which is put on by our Leaders. For 2025, the Bonfire and Fireworks Display is on Saturday 8th November on Send Marsh Green, with the torchlight procession starting at 18:15 from the Saddlers Arms pub.

During the Summer, we also hold a May Day fair on Send Recreation ground.

We will also be hosting Father Christmas for the annual Santa Runs on December 15th, 17th and 18th 2025. See our dedicated tab for more information.

All of these events are our greatest methods of income for the Group and keep us going. We also feel that it is also a great set of events for the amazing community which we are a part of.

Gift Aid

GiftAid is very important to us ... it's FREE MONEY from the Government. All you have to do is fill out and sign a simple form for us when your child joins our Scout Group ... it costs you nothing but it means that, as a registered charity, we can claim back the tax you have paid on that money. Last year, with all the parents that had signed up to GiftAid, we were able to claim back over £3,000 in additional funds!!!

If you haven't already done it, please print off, fill out and return this form to us as soon as possible.
