<div>The Scrum Bar has been part of Bedford Blues since 1910, now’s your time to save our dearest bar and put your name into our history.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For more than a century, it has been a place where our club comes together. Matchdays, celebrations, post-match gatherings, shared meals, big wins, many stories and even better memories. It’s a place that has seen friendships made and countless pints poured. But now,<strong> The Scrum Bar needs your help</strong> as the roof needs replacing, facilities need upgrading and accessibility needs improvement.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s why we’ve launched S.O.S, with one simple goal: <strong>Raise £100,000 to Save Our Scrum. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For many of us, The Scrum means something different. Maybe it’s where you’ve enjoyed a pre-match pint, celebrated a big occasion, met the players or became part of the Blues Family. Whatever your connection, this is your chance to help protect a place that means so much to our club.
</div>
<div>Every donation makes a difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether it’s £5, £50 or £500, your support will help us reach our<strong> £100,000 target. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And along the way, we’ll be having plenty of fun! Find out more on what’s going on and why at &gt; <a href="https://bedfordrugby.co.uk/club/save-our-scrum" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Save Our Scrum : Bedford Blues RFC</a>

S.O.S : Save Our Scrum

<div>To all,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Alice Lisle-Denny. This is a joint fundraising page with Julie Munro for an old friend and also IVHQ Tanzania 'House Mama', Haika Wilison.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You may remember her for her caring nature and for making your experience in the IVHQ Tanzania old volunteer house truly special and feel supported in a foreign country.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She is still living in Tanzania, and has grown her family to three boys.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/77195285_1704271204669046_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The previous fundraiser was for her to complete her studies in Kampala International University, Kenya. However, this was delayed due to a presidential election.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During this time, Haika decided that as her family was growing, perhaps going back to university was not best option and she needed a source of income that could be more flexible with family life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We instead put the money raised to her doing a bakery and pastry course, which she started to making consistent income up until Covid, where I personally supported her where I could.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/77195285_1702944497776780_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You may remember that in 2014, within 6 months of Haika having her first child, she sadly lost both her parents and in 2019, her family members gathered to decide how her parents assets should be split, which has been in dispute as it is culturally frowned upon for women to inherit property.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It was decided however, that Haika should inherit land and was give a property on Kiserian Moshono Road, which is outside of Arusha town. The land has an incomplete house, as her brother who was building the house ceased construction in protest to the decision.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The house has sat there incomplete until now, however the extreme flooding that is occurring in Tanzania has damage some of the unrestrained walls.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/77195285_1702944627522070_r." width="100%" />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Haika and her family are currently taking refuge in a local church during the flooding, but are keen to finish the home and move in next year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The cost to finish the house is 2500$ USD (3800AUD), which includes rebuilding the damaged wall, finishing the roofing, the toilet , installing doors and windows, a water system and finally electricity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have put in the full target for building the house, however I am planning to send Haika directly smaller amounts once raised so that construction can continue.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I will attempting my longest distance I have ever run; 70km on the 20th April in an effort to raise funds.
</div>
<div>Julie Will dedicate one triathlon competition to this fundraising during the 2024 season.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please donate and help Haika to finish her family home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you want to get in contact with her please see her Facebook: Haika Wilison.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you.

Help Haika Finish Family Home Damaged in Floods

Mark Cooney started Spotted in Ely in 2013 and he had no idea about what it would do for the local community. Ask anyone who lives in East Cambs about him or Spotted in Ely and they know exactly what it is.<br /><br />The organisation has been run by him and his partner Alison and they have funded it themselves mostly with no quibbles to how much it affects their financial life. <br /><br />Last week they received the devastating news that Mark has terminal cancer and his only concerns are for his family and the Spotted in Ely project and its survival after he's gone. <br /><br />I have set up this Gofundme page to show Mark and Alison what they mean to us and hopefully give them some extra money to treat themselves and make some memories. Before creating this, I spoke with Mark who was very emotional about the idea, he did say that he would be very grateful to anyone who donated but wouldn't take more than needed. Any remaining money would be used on the Spotted in Ely project to keep it running.<br /><br />Mark has said he wants to just spend his time left with his daughters and Alison and he is hoping the lockdown ends soon so they can be together to make some special memories.<br /><br />It would be great if we could all send our thanks and support to Mark. Lets show him how much Spotted in Ely has helped us all in the last 8 years.
