If you’re into spinning or just looking for a good cause to support, this is an event which you should take note of. The Making A Difference (MAD) about Child Protection Spinathon is happening at Canal Walk Shopping Centre on Saturday 5 December 2009. It’s a spinning event which is being organised by Friends Of Child Protection (FCP) in association with Virgin Active and Canal Walk.
The general public are invited to join in the event as individuals, families or corporate teams. The main aim is to get as many people to spin for an hour or for the duration of the event (8 hours), to raise funds and awareness and to do their bit towards Making A Difference About Child Protection.
The event starts at 11h00 and ends at 20h00 and takes place at La Piazza in Canal Walk. The costs are R100 per adult entry for a one hour slot or R50 per entry for a 30 minute slot for children aged 12 – 16 years. Time slots can be booked by pre-registering. Entry forms are available electronically for pre-registration from Kirstin Lund who can be contacted on 021 7907001 or fcp@webmail.co.za.
Friends Of Child Protection is a registered NGO which provides comfort packs to children who are victims of violence and abuse. These packs contain items to help the children in the first hours after the abuse has taken place and are also used by forensic social workers and the Wynberg Courts.
