Events Programme
Cherry Lodge Cancer Care fundraisers work hard all year to put on an interesting and varied programme of events. They also help third-party supporters to raise money for us.
Recent events have included the Summer Soulstice festival, held on Saturday 21st June 2025 and our annual Sponsored Swim event at QE Boys’ School pool on Sunday 6th July.

Use the drop-down menu immediately below this text to select either ‘Agenda’ (an interactive list with dates, which is the default option) or ‘Month’ (an interactive calendar that shows the planned events month by month). Each of these options provides an overview of our scheduled events.
