☀️ August Newsletter ☀️
Our Summer Fete may have started with a splash of rain, but the community spirit was shining bright! Read on to find out how the day went and how you can still join in the fun and support our cause.
☀️ Summer Fete Round Up! ☀️
First, a huge thank you to everyone who braved the weather and came along to our Summer Fete on Sunday 20th July. Whether you were browsing stalls, buying raffle tickets, eating cake, or volunteering your time to help out, you made it a brilliant afternoon despite the conditions.
This is our main fundraiser of the year, and although the early rain affected the day and numbers were down on the door, the fete was still full of smiles, laughter, and community spirit.
We’re thrilled to share that we’ve raised over £2,600 so far – and donations are still coming in! This money goes directly towards helping us continue to provide subsidised Oxygen Therapy and other vital treatments at the Centre.
Congratulations to all our winners! 🏆 From the Gnome Hunt to the Bottle Tombola, it was fantastic to see so many happy faces walking away with prizes. If you missed out on the fun, you can still get involved – our Treasure Map game and Name the Teddy are still running at the Centre! Pop in and have a go.
We’re aiming to reach our £3,000 target, so if you’d like to help us get there, any donation — big or small — would make a huge difference.
You can donate easily online via the button below.
Once again, thank you for your support – together we’re making a real difference 💙

A Couple of Quick Reminders 🚗📞
PARKING
We’ve noticed some members parking in spaces reserved for other units on the industrial estate.
Please avoid parking outside neighbouring businesses, as we can’t move your car while you’re in the chamber and it can cause problems for others. You’re welcome to park along the fence or at the end of the road. If in doubt please check with reception. Let’s all help maintain good relations with our neighbours!
