This is where most people know us from. Marines doing daft things - topless, dressed up, whatever the theme is that year. It sounds silly but it works. People buy it, money comes in, families get helped. We've done it every year since 2010.
When a Marine deploys, childcare doesn't stop costing money. We cover some of those costs for families in our area. Not all of it, but enough to take the edge off.
Boiler breaks down. Car fails its MOT. Someone needs to travel to visit a Marine who's been injured. We've got a small grants pot for exactly these situations. No lengthy application forms - we try to keep it simple.
Sponsored walks, quiz nights, golf days, the odd dinner. Some do well, some don't. But they all bring people together which matters as much as the fundraising.
