Local Support Helps Raise Thousands for Cancer Research
HALESWORTH BRANCH OF CANCER RESEARCH
On the 18th September myself and committee members Debbie and Sue returned to The Old Hall Cafe to say “Thank You” to them for holding The Maze by Torchlight event again for us.
We presented them with a certificate to acknowledge the amount of £4,441.24p that they have raised for us over the three years that the event has taken place.
The good news is that all being well we will be doing it again next year.
Emily, Beth and Chelsea from The Old Hall Cafe presented us with the cheque for this years total of £1,494.11 p
Unfortunately Bella (the owner) couldn’t be with us on the day but we are very grateful that she continues to support us and we send our very best wishes to all the staff at The Old Hall Cafe.
We are also very grateful to Halesworth Co-op and Sarah in the Insomnia Cafe for letting us have a table top sale in the cafe on Saturday 27th September from 10-2pm
Sarah made us very welcome and the cafe is a lovely area to meet up for a coffee with friends.
We had three tables, Cancer Research Christmas cards and merchandise, Tombola and a Nearly new stall. We raised £238.15p. Thank you to everyone who supported us.
We hope to do this again as a regular event with different stalls so please look out for our posters and adverts in The Community News etc.
The daughter of Judy one of our volunteers got married recently and instead of wedding gifts they very generously asked for donations to Cancer Research, it was such a kind gesture to think of us on such a special day and they raised £520.
We all send our congratulations to Sarah (Nee Cook) and her new husband Patrick as they start their married life together.
Our next event in Holton Village Hall will be our very popular Jumble Sale on October 18th so I will let you know how we got on in the next edition of the Community News.
Also Wenhaston Flower Club will have held their Charity Night for us on October 7th so will report back on this as well.
The last event for 2025 will be (dare I mention it) our Christmas Fair on November 22nd in Holton Village Hall. 10.30am – 2pm
This is one of our big events of the year where we serve our lunches. On the menu will be homemade soup, a choice of two mains and a lot of delicious desserts which we serve from 11.30am. We will also be serving tea/coffee and traditional mince pies from 10.30am.
Our priority of course is raising funds for Cancer Research but we also like it to be a community event where people can meet up with friends and neighbours so we try to keep the price of our meals as low as possible so it is affordable for all so please stay for lunch if you can.
We will also have our usual stalls, so if anyone would like to bake for us for the cake stall or donate a raffle prize we would be extremely grateful.
We will be having our very popular Tombola and Debbie and Sue’s Christmas stall with homemade preserves and Christmas Puddings etc. It is also the perfect opportunity to stock up on books and jigsaws for those long winter nights.
We do apologise for the inconvenience but our events are cash only.
Thank you to our loyal supporters and welcome to anyone who will be visiting us for the first time. We truly can’t do this without you all.
