Dorset Community Foundation runs Do It For Dorset Day
Howard Lake | 21 June 2013 | News
Dorset Community Foundation has persuaded local authorities, companies and charities across the county to make today the first 'Do It for Dorset Day', a day of fundraising events. The funds raised will go towards one of the area-specific community funds (Bournemouth, Poole and shire Dorset) that are managed by the Community Foundation.
Bournemouth Council, the Borough of Poole, and Dorset-based companies Ceuta Health, BH Live and Coleman's Insurance are just some of the organisations taking part.
All individual and company donations over £250 will be matched by 50p for every £1 from the Community First Scheme. So every £250 becomes £375.

Tony Williams, Chief Executive at Bournemouth Council, said: “We are delighted to be supporting the Do it for Dorset Day celebrations, especially as our efforts will directly help local people. I would encourage the whole town to get creative in their fundraising activities to raise as much money as we can."
