Sherborne Market - Giving Back to our community
Its all about our community
The Sherborne Market believes that supporting our local community is essential. Our community supports us and so it's great to give back where we can. With over £7000 donated this year here are some of the projects we have been involved with in 2022
Rachel Goodfellow 46 Marathons in 46 Days
We were proud to be able to donate £150 to sponsor Rachel Goodfellow's final weekend of 46 marathons in 46 days. Rachel will be finishing her final run in Pageant Gardens at 1p.m on Sunday 21st May whilst the market is in full swing. Rachel starts her quest on 6th April and will run a marathon a day for 46 days finishing on 21st May. Rachel is raising funds for families with additional needs, young people and The Rotarians Charity Foundation. For more details see hiddenneedstrust.org

The Gryphon School Lego Club have a fabulous project for 2023. After building Sherborne Abbey from Lego they are now building a copy of Sherborne Castle.
