Your support in action: Our amazing fundraisers
We are deeply grateful for every contribution from our dedicated supporters and friends. Here, we share a small snapshot highlighting some incredible people who helped support us this year. Thank you to everyone contributing time and effort in so many ways. Though we are unable to name everyone here, please be assured that we are immensely grateful.
Richard’s incredible impact and the sixth annual tour
Richard Hill has made a phenomenal difference by launching and organising the annual Farmers on Christmas Lights Tour. His convoy brings over 100 festively decorated tractors to local streets, last year raising an incredible £56,000 to fund our work.
The spectacular tractor tour is now in its sixth year, and we look forward to welcoming back this brilliant community highlight. Save the date for Sunday 20th December and join us for an evening of unforgettable festive tractor fun!
Charlie Chicks
A special thank you to Dianne Lee of DLRC Regulatory Consultancy, who generously donates 15,000 Cadbury Creme Eggs each year to support our fabulous Charlie Chicks campaign. We are also incredibly grateful to the many knitters and crocheters who lovingly create thousands of chicks by hand. Together, this year’s campaign raised an amazing £22,132.80.
Dianne said: “We need our Hospice. The care, compassion and support they provide to local families is invaluable, and I’m proud to play a part in helping them continue their incredible work.”
Cathy’s selfless fundraising challenge
Our very own Community Services Manager, Cathy Hunt, bravely shaved her head to raise funds in memory of her mother and two mothers-in-law, two of whom benefited from hospice care. Motivated by the fact that we must raise around 60% of our costs through fundraising, Cathy raised £8,060.
The Garden House Hospice Cup
Organised by Roger Levett, the charity football match held at Hitchin Town’s Top Field brought our community together and raised an amazing £27,000! It was a great day with more than 60 players involved, a special appearance from former Arsenal and England midfielder, Jack Wilshire, and a fabulous crowd watching. Thank you, Roger.
Sam - running on high
Sam McCrow powered through the London Marathon, pushing through the pain barrier and smashing his fundraising target, making an incredible contribution to Garden House, raising £36,000.
Thank you, Sam, and to his colleagues and friends who supported him in this running challenge. We are incredibly grateful for your energy and generosity.
