Friends of Britain e.V. hands over donations amounting to 17,000.00 EUR

Gerald Böhme, Chairman of Ankerland e.V., accepted 10.000, - EUR on behalf of Friends of Britain e.V.

The Friends of Britain e.V. team, together with the teams from Ankerland e.V. and Klinik-Clowns Hamburg, assiduously sold tombola tickets by the thousand at the British Flair event in August 2022. The proceeds from the British Flair tombola and other campaigns - including those by the Caledonian Society Hamburg and the LIONS Clubs Klövensteen and Altona - will now be donated to charitable projects in Hamburg. In addition to the main recipient Ankerland e.V., donations went to Klinik-Clowns Hamburg e.V., St. Thomas à Becket Anglican Church, Deutsche Seemannsmission Hamburg-Altona e.V., Bergedorfer für Völkerverständigung e.V. and coach@school e.V.

In the past 32 years of British Day and British Flair, our society has succeeded in donating a total of more than 850,000 euros to charitable projects in Hamburg and the surrounding area. This has only been possible thanks to the tireless and dedicated volunteers who have stepped up to help us over the years.

A heartfelt thank you to all who have supported us!
