In 2024 the Park turned 35 years old and so we set ourselves a target to raise a whopping ยฃ35,000 for Alexander Devine Childrenโs Hospice.
We have been supporting this local cause for a number of years and 2024 was our year to really make a difference for such a fantastic charity.
We held a number of fundraising events through the year and although we didnโt quite reach our goal, we still raised a staggering ยฃ31,615!
To put that into perspective, that incredible amount of money can:
๐ Pay for 1,359 memory boxes for families who have lost a child
๐ Give 507 children a hour of special care with a nurse
๐ Give 329 children a splash session in a hydrotherapy pool with their families
๐ Fund 72 day spaces for seriously-ill children, giving them opportunities for fun and play as well as specialist care
Throughout the year, money raised came from Wellness Wednesday, Christmas Tree Donation, Bottle Tombola, Cafe @ No.10 monthly round ups, Easter Family Fun Day, Cafe @ No.10 BBQ, Outdoor Cinema, Drag Bingo, Lake Fitness Arlington to Paris, The FireWalk, Christmas Fun Day and Cafe @ No.10 Christmas Lunches ๐ซ
Many individuals and companies on and off the Park also contributed towards the target.
A massive thank you goes out to all of you โ we couldnโt have done it without every single one of you ๐
