Greene and Co Sponsor 2011 YMCA Festival
Sunday 22nd May 10.00am – 5.00pm
Priory Park N8 Crouch End www.ymcahornsey.org
Greene and Co are joining forces with the YMCA to sponsor the Festival that runs alongside the hugely popular Fun Run.
The Festival part of the event has evolved from the humble beginnings of the YMCA bouncy castle and a face painter or two, to the huge feast of entertainment featured in 2010, which marked the 20th Anniversary of the Fun Run.
At the centre of the Festival will be the main stage featuring the best of local music and special headliner acts entertaining the crowds from 10am until 5pm. The mood will be mellow and the quality excellent.
Children will be fully entertained with the Climbing Wall andSpider Mountain back by popular demand, and new for 2011, Archery! There will be Fun Fair rides for toddlers upwards, face painting, beat the goalie and a host of other activities.
No one should go hungry at the Festival as there will be food to accommodate all tastes, including Hog Roast, Fine Fish and Chips, Greek food, ice cream and crepes, Caribbean food, BBQ, fine coffee, pastries and cakes.
All proceeds raised by Greene & Co. on the day will go direct to Action Duchenne. This year Greene & Co are raising awareness and money for Action Duchenne – a charity helping a community of children and parents touched by Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a heartbreaking severe genetic muscle wasting disease. www.actionduchenne.org

Hornsey YCMA Programme Director, Jim Shepley said “We are absolutely delighted to be working with our fellow Crouch End Project partners Greene and Co. Their support is most welcome and their input into the festival will take it to another level and bodes well for the continuing future of this event. It is yet another example of the strength of the local business community in this area”.
David Pollock, Managing Director Greene & Co, comments:
“This event is now firmly set in the local event calendar and the fact that it has grown from strength to strength over the last 21 years is a testament to its success. The YMCA does a tremendous amount of work for young people and we are delighted to be able to fully support the festival. At the event we will be working hard to raise part of the £15,000 annual target for charity. We will be cheering on the many people expected to be running the 10k, including many of our own staff. Greene & Co have supported a number of local charities over the years and and we are now delighted to be involved in such a prestigious event.”
This promises to be a great day for all, and for a great cause. We look forward to seeing you there.

Charity Fun Day
It is amazing what can be done when a group of people band together for a great cause. Greene & Co. had their Family Fun Day at the Hornsey Cricket Club on Sunday July 4 and it was a huge success. We raised an amazing £4000 for the charity, Grief Encounter. We had loads of family fun activities including a jumping castle, petting zoo and sumo suits - which where a real hit. The charity cricket match between Greene & Co and the Hornsey Cricket Club was also great - however Hornsey where to good on the day. To top of a great day we had a performance by the Shalon Monks, which was spectacular. All in all we had a great day and most importantly raised much need money for a wonderful charity.
Greene & Co - Family Fun Day raising money for Grief Encounter
Greene & Co. have gone through a lot of planning and organisation but it is finally here. Our Fun Day is this Sunday 4th July at the Hornsey Cricket Club Crouch End and it is going to be a fantastic family fun day out. The thing about this fun day is that it is raising money and awareness about a great London charity Grief Encounter, who dedicate their time to helping bereaved children and their families. We are really looking forward to the day, there will be loads of family entertainment and a special performance from the Shalon Monks from Britain’s Got Talent which is going to be incredible. Now all we have to do is cross our fingers for good weather.
Greene & Co. raising funds for Grief Encounter
One of the best things a company can do is give back to the community that helped to create it. Greene and Co. have supported the local community through various projects over several years, this year we are supporting a truly special and deserving charity, Grief Encounter.
Grief Encounter support children and their families during the loss of one or both parents. The loss of someone you love is difficult for anyone but it can be extremely taxing on a young child who can’t quite grasp what is happening around them. This is where Grief Encounter becomes an invaluable organisation. They have many avenues which help support, care and guide children and families through the most difficult time they will face.
We are aiming to raise in excess of £10,000 for this wonderful charity. If you would like to find out more about them please click here. If you would like to help us with our mission please click here to donate.
