Abbeyfield Cheer for Fatboys
Abbeyfield School in Chippenham recently handed over a cheque for £450-00 to Fatboys Charity following their Christmas Fayre, held at the school in December.
Students from the lower 6th Business Learning were tasked to set up and run the event and had just six weeks to sort everything out. Students decided to give the proceeds to Fatboys after the charity had helped one of their young friends when she was battling cancer. Sadly, young Hannah lost her fight against the deadly disease but so touched by Fatboys generosity, her friends wanted to give something back.
The students all worked incredibly hard to produce a fantastic Christmas Market that had something for everyone and it was great to see young people from aged 11 upwards taking part in this great event. Fatboys were there on the night and were truly impressed by the level of organisation and cooperation amongst the students. In an age when the youth are often much maligned, this event would have restored even the most hardened cynics faith in teenagers. Well done team Abbeyfield and thank you!

SUPPORTING MALMESBURY YOUTH FC U-11S
Fatboys Charity are proud to sponsor Malmesbury Youth Under 11 football team for the 2010 -2011 season. Each team member was presented with their shirt bearing our logo and web address, a Fatboys mug and car sticker. Fatboys decided to expand their sponsorship of childrens' sporting teams and felt it was appropriate and something that the late Mike Lawless would have approved of.
It is also a great form of promotion for the Charity and has already reaped rewards. The Charity also currently sponsors a Swindon Minis Rugby team and the squad are so taken with their Fatboys tag on the front of their shirts that they have done a number of sponsored events for Fatboys generating a significant amount of donations.
A Committee member said '"Whilst the focus of Fatboys charity remains very much towards helping children suffering with Cancer and Leukaemia, we saw this as a great way of spreading the Fatboys name and advertising the work we do as well as supporting children in the community and giving them a bit of a laugh running around sports fields with Fatboys on their shirts ! We are finding that promotion of the Charity is reaping great rewards in increased donations and sponsored events and the more we raise , the more children we can help"
Watch out for a range of Fatboys merchandise coming soon !!
