Donate to HOOP UK

We are delighted to announce that we now have been awarded Charitable Status. The next stage is to be able to be recognised by the Inland Revenue so that we can claim gift aid!

Our main drive for fund raising at the moment is to help pay for places for children at summer camps in the UK thatfundraising will help them become strong, healthy young people.

It is a fact that 95% of obese children go on to become obese adults.

Our aim is to dramatically reduce that figure.

We would love you to help us do that!

There are a variety of ways that you can help us. Why not download our fundraising pack now and have a look for some ideas.

Auction Time with Jessie Pavelka

bd for jessie500banner

HOOP UK is delighted to announce that Jessie has donated a two hour training session for us to auction to further the work of HOOP UK.

Many of you will have seen Jessie as presenter of Obese: A Year to Save my Life on Sky 1. Series Two is currently underway and in November Jessie will be back in the UK working and filming with the contributors.

Whilst he is here he has offered to hold a training session with the highest bidder. As a new organisation this is just what HOOP UK needs. We are working towards getting charitable status and this will hugely help us to have the requisite amount to be able to do that.

So, a great big THANK YOU to Jessie. What a complete star!

This is a 7 day ‘semi-silent’ auction and so ends at 9pm on Tuesday 25th September. We will give you an idea of the highest bid each evening and announce the final winner after the bidding closes.

THAT WAS SO CLOSE AT THE END.

WE HAD THREE BIDDERS.

THE WINNING BID CAME IN AT £2702.50

 

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT
