Events Programme
Our first large event of 2024 – the Summer Soulstice/Cherry Lodge Heart & Soul Ball – was held on Saturday 17th February 2024 at the Double Tree Hilton Hotel, Borehamwood. Two hundred guests enjoyed a top quality tombola, delicious food, a live act from singer Tisha Monique, and dance music from Soulstice DJs. The (interim) total raised is around £9,500. The first Arkley Club Cha Night in 2024 took place the following week, on Friday 23rd February – £5 at the door for a great evening of music and dancing, with proceeds to Cherry Lodge.
Next up is an Easter Flower Arranging Workshop (now sold out) in aid of Cherry Lodge by professional florist, Iris, at Barnet Grange Care Home (Avery Collection) on Thursday 21st March 2024. Then, on Sunday 24th March 2024, you are invited to take part in our Easter Sponsored Walk ‘n’ Talk event in Oakhill Park. We have seven runners raising money for us by taking part in the 2024 tcs London Marathon on Sunday 21st April – please sponsor them if you can.

Cherry Lodge Cancer Care’s Sponsored Easter 2024 Walk’n’Talk on Sunday 24th March (the weekend before Easter) promises to be a great morning out with friends, family and pets. It also provides an excellent opportunity – for walkers and their sponsors – to help fund CL’s much appreciated cancer information and support services.

Afterwards every walker will be presented with a medal. To register your place in advance and to obtain sponsor forms, please contact Tina by email or call her on 020 8441 7000.
There will also be live music and a stall selling cakes and Easter merchandise.
