Win a cruise!
5WSS currently has a £400,000 fundraising target to build a new HQ in Tide Mill Way, to bring the magic of scouting to even more young people. To help us reach our goal, the team at Fred Olsen Cruise Lines have given us an amazing prize of a seven night cruise to Germany and the Lowlands next Easter, valued at £3,150.
Aboard Fred Olsen's flagship vessel Bolette, you'll take in Hamburg, the River Elbe, Bruges and Amsterdam on your travels; see more details about this brilliant trip here.
The prize is for up to two adults and two children, with the cruise departing from Southampton on March 28, 2024. Depending on your circumstances, the prize could also be shared between two adults, or one adult and one child.
Prize draw tickets cost £10 each, and you can buy as many as you want - so, for example, if you want 5 tickets, pledge £50.
Alternatively, you can enter for free by sending your details to our headquarters at 5-7 Tide Mill Way, Woodbridge, Suffolk IP12 1BY.
We also have a second prize of a gift bag, packed to the brim with lots of Fred Olsen goodies.
The prize draw will take place at the 5WSS quiz night on Saturday, November 18.
Why are we fundraising?
We are raising money towards the build of our new HQ in Tide Mill Way, Woodbridge. Planning permission has recently been granted, which means we now need to raise £400,000 to make our dream a reality. Our group is has been running for over 50 years, is affiliated to the Royal Navy and currently provides skills for life for over 160 young people in Suffolk.
Our new HQ will allow us to offer more young people the opportunities of scouting. Included in the plans are new changing rooms, showers and disabled facilities. What’s more, we want the HQ to become a community asset for the people of Woodbridge, and will encourage other youth organisations in Suffolk and beyond to hire the facilities as a base for water activities on the River Deben.
Buy your tickets now, and help us reach our ambitious fundraising target. Thank you in advance, and good luck!
