We'd like to buy a second-hand Bouncy Castle to use for community events, saving on hire costs and enabling families to meet and have fun.

We're still collecting donations

On the 12th January 2025 we'd raised £971 with 29 supporters in 13 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.

@TheHalls has run a series of successful Bounce events at the Victoria and Albert Halls, Ballater, since March 2022. 

To date we have hired in a Fun Run type bouncy castle to maximise the space, safety and fun factor for various age ranges (0-adult). 

Entry was previously by set-price ticket though more recently it has been by donation, to enable as many families as possible to enjoy the sessions, and provide an opportunity for their children/charges to go wild and run about inside in the winter months (while they enjoyed a coffee to the side).

However, these sessions were still limited to taking place monthly at most, on account of the hire costs, and @TH funds had to cover any shortfalls from previous fundraising. 

@TH has been offered the opportunity to buy the bouncy castle previously hired for £800, and would like to raise that money through local donations if possible, please. :-)

This will enable us to host Bounce @theHalls sessions as often as we like (but particularly in winter when weather can hinder outdoor play), whether ticketed or free/by donation, as well as providing an asset that could be hired for parties etc, for the benefit of @TH and the Victoria and Albert Halls, Ballater.

If we are lucky enough to raise above the target, any excess monies will be used to fund yearly PIPA inspections and hall hires.

THANK YOU!
