Jam Jar Challenge

The ‘Jam Jar Challenge’ is a simple initiative devised to inspire the school children of Tunbridge Wells to play their part in making Calverley Adventure Grounds a reality. Children were invited to raise funds by collecting coins in a clean jam jar during the month of June. Although this fundraising initiative is officially finished, we are still encouraging families to continue filling their jam jars.

Many local retailers are kindly displaying our jars throughout the high street. If you are a local retailer, of know of one, who wishes to show their support, please email us at ‘hello@calverleyadventuregrounds.co.uk‘ and we will be delighted to deliver one!

If you are looking for inspiration on ways to fill your jam jar, ours is full of wonderful ideas on how to raise money. Scroll down to our ‘A-Z’ of fundraising ideas and supporting materials.
