Fundraising

Cherry Lodge Cancer Care fundraisers and third-party supporters work hard around the year to put on a programme of interesting events to help fund CL’s many services. October and November are particular special for including several annual CL fundraising favourites.

Our very popular Pink Tombola event, held at The Spires on Saturday 14th October 2023, raised a very pleasing £424. This was followed, on Sunday 19th November by our Lights of Love ceremony, at which participants gather to remember their loved ones after making a donation to sponsor a light to help raise funds for Cherry Lodge – the total raised this year was a phenomenal £5,500. Most recently, the 2023 Cherry Lodge Christmas Fair was held on Saturday 25th November 2023 at St James Church, New Barnet – this was another very enjoyable and successful event (the total raised will be added here soon).

Carol singing by schoolchildren from Barnet and Edgware and a group of mums raised a very impressive £1,394 for Cherry Lodge on Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th December 2023. Thank you very much indeed to the singers and to everyone else who helped.

The Cherry Lodge Cancer Care/Summer Soulstice Heart & Soul Ball will be held on Saturday 17th February 2024 at the Double Tree Hilton Hotel, Borehamwood. Included in the ticket price of £65 per person are a welcome glass of prosecco; a tempting three-course dinner; music from Soulstice DJ’s; and a newly announced special live music act from brilliant Soul Singer Tisha Monique.

Fundraising is vital to Cherry Lodge Cancer Care. Without it, we would not be able to offer free services to all our Members. You can help us by attending our fundraising events, by becoming a Cherry Lodge fundraising volunteer, by getting people to sponsor you to take part in an event or activity, or by putting on your own event on our behalf.

For more information about all aspects of fundraising, in the first instance please contact our Charity Administrator and Fundraising Events Coordinator, Tina Papasavva, on 020 8441 7000 or email tina@cherrylodgecancercare.org.uk.

From quiz nights and tea parties to seasonal fairs and walks, there are numerous events you can enjoy while also supporting Cherry Lodge. Our online Events Programme doesn’t only give you the dates of planned events – it provides more information about them.

Be a Fundraising Volunteer

We need enthusiastic and energetic volunteers to help with Cherry Lodge’s many fundraising activities. Volunteers in our regular Fundraising Team play an important role in the planning and running of our ongoing programme of events. Other volunteers, perhaps with only occasional time to spare, may offer to help out with specific events.

Put on an Event

If you are involved in putting on plays, shows, musicals, garden parties, garden displays or any other events, you might like to do it on behalf of Cherry Lodge.

Raise Money through Sponsorship

People can raise impressive amounts of money for Cherry Lodge by getting people to sponsor them to take part in some kind of activity.

Fundraise For Us

Why not donate online or start your own fundraiser? It’s so easy to get involved…

Corporate Fundraising

Cherry Lodge is keen to work with local companies to help them raise money for Cherry Lodge. If you would like to find out how your company might be able to get involved, please contact Margaret Clark, Chairman of the Trustees, on 020 8441 7000.

Collection Boxes

To help people raise money for us, we can provide secure, numbered Cherry Lodge Cancer Care collection boxes. You might want to take several if you are holding a fundraising event on our behalf, or you might like one to display prominently at your place of work or in a local shop.

During the course of the year, we are granted permission to use our collection boxes on specific days in supermarkets or shopping centres. Volunteers are always needed to help with these collections.
