Primrose Day

Primrose Day Poster

The Primrose Foundation would like everyone to get involved in our annual Primrose Day by wearing something pink, yellow, or grey for the day.

Either dress from top to toe in one or all our branded colours and show your support for breast cancer awareness.

Our mixture of colours reminds us of our British summers. They are delightful and fun and can be worn by everyone.

We wear these colours one day of the year, to mark our respect for the ones we hold so dear. Those who must fight breast cancer away, then pray it is kept at bay.

Breast cancer is a horrible disease and one we should not dismiss with ease. So, let’s all bring some sunshine into our day and get involved in some way.

Wear a bright yellow top or a fancy pink bow tie, anything goes so don’t be shy. To get involved please donate via the link below, which will help our charity flourish and grow.

https://www.justgiving.com/primrosefoundation

To get involved, we’re asking for a small donation of just £2.50 from each person who wishes to participate – we hope that’s ok.

Plymouth Half Marathon 2024

  • Plymouth, England, PL1 2PJ United Kingdom (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The countdown has begun to one of our favourite local annual events, the Plymouth half marathon. We love this event for many reasons but ultimately because it’s centred around bringing our community together and encouraging everyone to get involved.

What’s also great about this event is that the hard-working behind-the-scenes event crew at Redrok Events work incredibly hard at making this event an opportunity for local charities like The Primrose Foundation to benefit by offering all runners the opportunity to support their chosen charity.

You can enter as a solo participant or like many of our fantastic fundraisers have done so in the past, as a group of family, friends, or work colleagues, it’s all about getting involved and potentially making a difference.

 
 

Everyone enters with their own story, whether that’s to achieve a personal best or to make a difference to a charity close to their hearts, it’s an event that has no doubt touched most of us in some way, whether you have got involved yourself or sponsored someone that has. It’s an event that makes us proud to live in the Southwest.

If you would like to enter this year for your first time or for the thirty-third time we would love for you to consider supporting us and perhaps that support could help give you some extra motivation.

 
 

To sign up please click here https://runplymouth.co.uk/plymouth-half/ and to find out more about how you can support us please head on over to our fundraising page here https://www.primrosefoundation.org/download

World Vision's Jurassic Coast Trek 2024

The Primrose Foundation has teamed up with A Different Travel Company to offer our supporters an amazing opportunity to explore the stunning landscapes of The Jurassic Coast whilst fundraising for The Primrose Foundation on a 3-day adventure.

The Jurassic Coast is in the south of England and was England’s first natural World Heritage Site. It stretches 95 miles from Orcombe Point at Exmouth, East Devon to Old Harry Rocks at Studland, Dorset, with rocks dating back 185 million years. It is part of the much longer South West Coast Path trail, which covers a 630-mile route around the coastline of the South West peninsula.

The Jurassic Coast area is a fossil hunter’s dream with dinosaur remains having been found here. You will walk approximately 26.2 miles along the beautiful coastal path from Lulworth to Studland. The undulating cliffs provide stunning views over the sea and surrounding landscape and offer a very worthy challenge!

 
 

Please note: Due to the steep and rugged terrain and many hours of walking but anyone who has a reasonable level of fitness can walk the Jurassic Coast path. You will trek approximately 26.2 miles taking around 10-12 hours. You need to be in good health and of good fitness with bucket-loads of determination. If you are the sort of person who can dig deep and just doesn’t give up then this is for you.

The Primrose Foundation is looking for the support of a group or possibly groups of experienced sailors to take part in the wonderful Eddystone Charity Sailing Pursuit which is both rewarding and beneficial to the participants as well as our wonderful charity too.

This epic event is designed to raise money for charities like The Primrose Foundation. The event is sponsored entirely by a private charitable trust and is the third largest fundraising event in the Southwest, having to date raised over £1 million for many local charities.

The Pursuit has support from several local business heroes such as Allspars Ltd, Mayflower Marina and Plymouth Yacht Haven. It is also supported by Dartington Crystal Ltd in Torrington Ltd who donate the event Trophies.

If you are part of a sizable organisation that enjoys sailing, why not take part in this well-known and hugely popular event and help to raise essential funds for your local breast care charity.

 
 

There are many reasons to take part in this event whether it’s for a personal achievement, Business promotion, or giving something back to your local community- the list of possibilities and opportunities is endless. However, whatever your reason for participation we simply appreciate your support.

Sponsorship is raised by the yachts, and it is for them to see that their sponsorship reaches their chosen charity.   The organisers reserve the right on a random basis to seek proof of authenticity and source of sponsorship.   Alternatively, the JustGiving website or similar equivalents can be used.

All Prize Money won by the yachts is sent directly to the nominated charities by the Eddystone Pursuit’s Treasurer after the event.

If this sounds like an event you wish to get involved in, please visit the Eddystone Sailing Pursuit website here https://www.eddystonepursuit.com

Thank you for choosing to support The Primrose Foundation.

All we ask is that you donate one good quality pre-loved outfit to our fashion show.

Event notes:

The menu options for this event are as follows. If you have any food allergies, please state them at the time of booking.

The Duke Of Cornwall and My Special Day is proud to sponsor The Devil Wears Prada Fashion Show in aid of The Primrose Foundation.

Many of us purchase a special outfit, wear it once, possibly twice, never for it to be worn again, so why not bring new life to your wardrobe for a fraction of the price of buying pre-loved items instead?

Do you have a passion for fashion but not their price tags? Do you want to try a new style and pay a price to make you smile then why not come along for an afternoon of celebrating fashion and purchase some pre-loved items to.

Five great reasons to buy pre-loved.

  • Saves you money.

  • Reduces waste and helps to tackle landfill.

  • Helps our environment & fair trade.

  • Lengthens the life span of each garment.

  • Supports good causes like us.

Should you require any more information about this event please contact us at info@primrosefoundation.org

The Primrose Foundation is not responsible for items purchased that are faulty or damaged in any way. All responsibility of any purchases made will be that of the consumer, not the charity.

Join in with friends or make some new ones along the way.

This challenge can be undertaken by fit walkers aged 18+ (or 16+ if accompanied by an adult). You must be at a good level of fitness, able to self-manage (e.g. you know how to keep hydrated, nourished, warm and dry), be in good health and have oodles of determination and a positive and flexible can-do attitude.

This will be an instructor-led walk which will cover approximately 25 miles of stunning views over the sea and surrounding landscape. A very worthy challenge we hope you will agree.

The Eddystone Charity Sailing Pursuit 2023

  • Royal Western Yacht Club Queen Annes Battery, Plymouth PL4 0TW (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The Primrose Foundation would welcome the support of individuals or groups of yacht owners who would like to take part in this year's annual Eddystone Charity Sailing Pursuit.

This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy sailing 26 miles offshore to the Eddystone and back in the company of other like-minded yacht owners and crew to raise money for The Primrose Foundation.

The Eddystone Charity Sailing Pursuit has raised over £1million for many charities which like us help "to benefit the human condition".

 
 

The Eddystone Pursuit website https://www.eddystonepursuit.com/ has details of the entry fee and each yacht is required to raise sponsorship for its nominated charity.

This sponsorship should go directly to the charity you are sailing for via organisations such as JustGiving.

The Eddystone charity then gives prize money to that nominated charity - so please think of us at The Primrose Foundation. Early entry is recommended for this exciting event not least as it could add to a bigger prize and all the details can be found on the Eddystone Pursuit website.

 If you enjoy sailing, are a boat owner or know someone who would like to take part to fundraise for The Primrose Foundation please register as soon as possible.

Wear It Yellow Day 2023

The Primrose Foundation would like to invite all local companies to encourage their workforce to take part in our annual wear it yellow day.

Yellow is a bright and cheery colour, which reminds us of the summer.
It is bold and fierce and full of positivity which should be embraced at any given opportunity.
We wear yellow for one day a year, to mark our respect for the ones we hold so dear.
Those who must fight breast cancer away, then pray it is kept at bay.
Breast cancer is a horrible disease and one we should not dismiss with ease.
So, let’s all bring some sunshine into our day and get involved in some way.
Wear a bright yellow top or a fancy bow tie, anything goes so don’t be shy.

To get involved donate via the below, which will help our charity flourish and grow.

 

To get involved, we’re asking for a small donation of just £2.50 from each person who wishes to celebrate with us – we hope that’s ok.

Every penny raised will go towards supporting the Breast care services at University Hospitals Plymouth and with medicine advances and technology improving all the time, our wish list for these all-important services is ever-evolving.
