We are very focused on donating locally, in fact over the last 10 years we have donated over £150,000 to local charities, groups and good causes. The money is raised through the generosity of the local community supporting our fundraising events such as the Poynton Bonfire and Poynton Santa Rounds. Therefore we like to donate as locally as possible. If you represent a charity, group, organisation or good cause in the local area, and you have a funding requirement we'd be interested in hearing from you. Send us the details of your charity, cause, group, or project, along with full contact details to [email protected]

Poynton Round Table donates £26,000 to the local community Poynton Round Table is making donations totalling over £26,000 to local charities, good causes and groups. Following a very successful and well-attended 2016 Poynton Bonfire and thanks to the generous donations to the annual Santa float, Poynton Round Table have been able to make over 40 donations totalling in excess of £26,000. Being able to donate such a large amount to the local community is one of the highlights of being a member of Poynton Round Table. However, it is only possible with the support of the local community at our events, so we would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who attended the Poynton Bonfire or donated to the Santa float. To date, during 2017 we have (so far) supported the following charities, groups and causes:
Parents Carers Group for parents with disabled children
Arthritis - Macclesfield
Relationship and Sexuality Group
2016 Donations
In 2016 Poynton Round Table donated £17,000 to local charities, groups, and good causes. In addition to the early (December 2015 - see below) donation of £8000 made to Poynton Community Centre the following organisations received donations from Poynton Round Table.
Poynton Round Table donate £8000 Following a successful Charity Bonfire and Fireworks display, Poynton Round Table is delighted to have donated £8000 to the Poynton Community Centre for their “SAVE Your Centre” appeal. The appeal has been raising money for essential improvements and repairs to Poynton’s oldest and best loved buildings. The Poynton Community Centre is the focal point for so many great community events in Poynton, but required £25,000 of essential repairs and improvements to bring it up to current standards. Poynton Round Table is pleased to be able to help bring this building back to life and its rightful place at the centre of the community.
Pictured below are members of Poynton Round Table presenting the cheque for £8000 to the Poynton Community Centre trustee Geoff King. Chairman of Poynton Round Table David Maiden commented “from the first meeting with Geoff King and John Shaw it was clear that the energy and enthusiasm being poured into the centre was going to make a big difference, we had no hesitation in selecting the Centre as our Headline Charity this year”, whilst Geoff King Chairman of Poynton Community Centre said “to say thank you to Poynton Round Table for their support seems inadequate. This donation will kick start Phase II of the restoration. On behalf of the trustees and the people of Poynton a sincere thank you to you all".
Poynton Round Table will be making additional donations to local charities, groups and good causes over the next few months.
In addition to the Poynton Community Centre Poynton Round Table have donated to the following in 2015:
