Buying duck tickets helps others in the community
We know that part of the fun of supporting the duck races is wondering whether your duck will win a prize. But the real purpose of the event is to raise money to help others. All profits go to the Rotary Club of Hebden Bridge Trust Fund (registered charity number 513898) which gives grants to local, national and international good causes.
Since 2007 the Trust has awarded grants of over half a million Pounds. With your support we can boost the Trust’s funds and help us on our way to one million Pounds.
