Christmas Tree Festival Fundraiser
My name is Frederick and I am a 14 year old Cluster Headache sufferer. My Explorer Scout Group is joining my local Church of Scotland and a Community centre, called The Atholl Centre, to organise a Christmas Tree Festival on 26 & 27 November 2022. Each year the proceeds from the Festival are donated to one UK and one international charity. This year I have asked that OUCH UK be the UK charity. I was diagnosed with CH when I was 11 years old. My parents and myself have felt very supported by the OUCH UK community and have used a lot of the recommendations for treatment that have worked very well for me, so I would like to show my appreciation by raising money for OUCH UK so we can continue to help other children and young people like me in the future.
Raising money for OUCH UK through my local Christmas Tree Festival is very important for me. The Festival has been on hold for the last 2 years because of COVID and this year it is back! Everyone in my town of Pitlochry is looking forward to the event. We usually have 20-30 Christmas Trees in the Church all decorated by different groups, charities, businesses, families and individuals. We also have an amazing Christmas Carol Concert at the end of the Festival. I really want to raise awareness of my condition and aim to donate as much as possible to OUCH UK through money raised at the Christmas Tree Festival. Thank you.
