All of the organisations who took an Owl have been asked to raise at least £1,000 for the amazing work of the North London Hospice by the end of the year. Our Cubs were all asked to get involved in the "£5 Charity Challenge" - they were each given a fiver and they needed to invest this to make more money back. This is very similar to the Parable of The Talents which features in the Gospel of Matthew 25:14-30.

​

It wasn't long before amazing stories were being shared of how our Cubs were getting involved in this Challenge. Many of them were using their £5 to purchase biscuit and cake ingredients and then selling the delicious home-made results to raise funds for the North London Hospice. Not forgetting our four-legged friends, Alfred and Martha made and then sold dog biscuits whilst bumblebees were in Seth's thinking when he made keyrings containing a sugar medicine to help sick or tired bees take flight again.

​

Some of our Cubs took part in car washing or guess the sweets in the jar challenges, whilst Feliks made bookmarks and Jasper created a hamper which was raffled off. Teddy created a home-made Elderflower Cordial made with sugar, elderflowers and lemons which was "better than beer"! These are just a few examples of the activities which took place and some pictures are shown below.
