This is what we do…

The Alresford Pigs Association has given financial help to those in need in Alresford and the surrounding villages for more than 37 years. We have given money for:

• Organisations such as the scouts, guides, sports & youth groups
• Local schools for specific projects
• School children unable to pay for school trips
• Single families needing white goods
• Families who need support that cannot be provided by other services
• Mobility scooters
• Park benches
• Senior residents events and activities

We raise money by organising or contributing to community events such as:

• Taking entry fees, manning the gates & acting as security support at the Alresford Show
• Organising traffic control at the annual Watercress Festival (next one May 2012)
• Organising the bi-annual Duck Race (next one June 2013)
• Erecting, maintaining and removing the towns spectacular Christmas trees and lights
• Organising and performing the arrival of Father Christmas (next one December 2012!)

With an emphasis upon participation & fun we welcome new members – with the membership process started by recommendation from any one of our existing members.

As an example of our work, pictured below is our Chair Pig, Robert Sanders handing over a ‘big cheque’ to the Alresford mini-rugby squad to help them purchase training balls other equipment.
