The Proaction Charity Fun Day and Sponsored Walk for Kids Aid, on Sunday 4th August, turned out to be an extraordinary success, attracting families across Northampton and wider. This free event, designed for all ages, was brimming with activities and excitement, all aimed at raising awareness and support for a great cause. Despite being a free event, we raised an amazing £784.50 and we also had so many tombola donations and inkind support from our community!
Although we had some cloudy weather, the rain stayed away and the smiles on everyone’s faces illuminated the day. The Proaction team, Kids Aid team, and Glazing Hub team were thrilled to be part of such an inspiring event. The turnout was fantastic, especially for our inaugural event of this kind, and we are already looking forward to making this an annual tradition, with aspirations to make it even bigger and better each year.
The event featured a scenic sponsored walk in our area, and we were delighted to see so many walkers join us. The route, led by the event’s founder Mr. Gayton and ProAction and England representative Alfie Andrews, both in sumo suits, added a fun and unique twist, raising funds with every step. Whether young or young at heart, everyone had a blast participating and making a difference.
Back at the Proaction academy, participants enjoyed a variety of fun-filled activities:
- Bouncy Castle: A hit with the kids.
- Ice Cream: A refreshing treat for all.
- Obstacle Course, Tombola, Archery, Football Scoring, and Sponging Instructors in the Stocks: Exciting challenges for everyone.
- Bake Sale: Homemade goodies that were impossible to resist.
- Proaction Demonstration: Exciting performance for everyone.
- Community Spirit: Friends, family, and neighbors came together in a vibrant, friendly atmosphere.
Students brought their family and friends, and the community of Proaction truly shone. We spread a lot of awareness for Kids Aid and had a blast doing it.
We were also honored to welcome Northampton boxers Chantelle Cameron and Kieron Conway, who showed their support by visiting the gym, taking pictures, and signing goodies. Their involvement was a fantastic example of the community coming together, and we deeply appreciate their support.
A big thank you to everyone who attended, participated, and contributed to making this day a success. Together, we are making a significant impact. Special thanks to Glazing Hub and Kids Aid for their partnership in providing an amazing day for everyone.
