The key thing to remember about Hyde Fundraisers is we are all volunteers, everyone gives their time free of charge and for the majority of events we attend cover our own expenses. This is also true for the characters we create where people have, at their own expense, had masks or costumes created which they utilise at some of the varied events we attend each year.
HERE ARE A FEW OF OUR MOST POPULAR EVENTS AND APPEARANCES
We were delighted to have featured on Blue Peter three times with our characters in 2000, 2003 and 2006.
