A capacity crowd of quizzers took part in Cherry Lodge’s ever-popular Winter Quiz, which was held on Saturday 27th February 2016 at Church House, Mary Immaculate and St Peter Church, Somerset Road, Barnet.

On Sunday 29th November 2015, Cherry Lodge Cancer Care held its annual Lights of Love event in The Spires Shopping Centre, Barnet.
