CookeryDemo.co.uk was set up in 2010 by Katy Metson to help promote
volunteer-led fundraising events in aid of good causes in and around
Hampshire. All of the activities undertaken in regard to organising
these fun, food-related events have been given free of charge by
Katy Metson. Once unavoidable expenses have been covered, all proceeds
go to the chosen charities.

"Our
aim is to put on events that provide patrons with a truly entertaining
evening whilst raising money for deserving causes. We've been
overwhelmed by the goodwill and generosity of individuals and
businesses within the local community who have either volunteered
their time free of charge, or provided services at reduced rates,
in order for us to keep our expenditure down to a minimum so
that more proceeds can go to the chosen charities. Our thanks
go to everyone supporting the events - from sponsors and participants
to guests attending the events." |
