Congratulations to Chloe Boyle, Fundraising for Devizes OpenDoors

Again we find ourselves congratulating and thanking young Chloe Boyle for fantastic fundraising efforts for Devizes homeless charity OpenDoors….

With friends and family she spent Saturday morning selling teddies and soft toys outside Morrisons in Devizes, this time raising £61.40. But if we’ve featured Chloe before they are usually for her individual fundraising efforts. However, it is in her and her family’s continued efforts in which Chloe has been a hero and an inspiration, raising a grand total of £1372.95 so far.

What began as a stall selling her own cuddly toys, has amounted to collecting donations from others, and continuing this amazing work. Mum, Julie proudly told me how the community has got behind this, and led her stall to be found regularly around the area, at our many great events like FullTone, and special occasions at Hillworth Park. If you see Chloe’s stall around and about, do take a look and buy a bear or two! Congratulations Chloe, you are a star!

Seven Year Old Chloe Raised £600 for Devizes Opendoors

Brave young fundraiser, Chloe Boyle did it! Just as she promised, Chloe slept outside in her garden Friday night, and raised an amazing £600 for homeless charity Devizes Opendoors; fantastic Chloe, congratulations! You are a trooper!

£57 of it Chloe raised herself, running a cuddly toy stall at school. But this amazing effort is only part of the continued fundraising Chloe has done for Opendoors and other charities.

If cities host Big Sleepouts, this was surely Devizes’ Little Sleepout, and brave Chloe managed the whole night outside. Mum, Julie said, “I have to say I wasn’t as prepared as I thought, for the amount of noise that happens all through the night.”

“I am so incredibly proud of Chloe for sticking out what was a really tough night in the end. It is not like being at a campsite where everyone around you is there for a holiday too, and the noise is a minimum. She has definitely taught me something through this fundraiser too. She really is a beautiful soul.”

We agree, well done, Chloe, and keep up the awesome fundraising. You are an inspiration to us all. Seems the Mayor thinks so too, and this week, Chloe received a young person’s civic award from the Mayor. A very busy Easter holiday!

Julie said, “all of her efforts are only possible because of the amazing people in our community.” Thanks to everyone for their support, homelessness is increasing locally, and Opendoors is there to help.
