Human Fruit Machine raises funds and awareness

Even though it rained most of the day, we still had a fun day at the Letchworth Christmas Lights Switch on event, raising vital awareness and funds for our work.

As the clock struck 12 noon, and our volunteers took their places, the skies opened and the rain poured down, and our fundraising team wondered where our first customer would come from. Five hours later, those worries had been well and truly banished, after an afternoon of fun and games on the Human Fruit Machine.

Awareness and fundraising

Superbly supported by local businesses who gave their time, skills and prizes, scores of lovely people came to have a go on the Human Fruit Machine to hear the horn go, watch the arms roll and the fruit held aloft. There was a donation every time, a prize every time and some good conversations had and awareness of our work raised.

With Christmas cards which had been hand-crafted by a Letchworth artist, with a % of cost going to Resolve, also for sale we raised an excellent £289.20 on a wet yet fun day. Thank you so much to everyone who supported us.
