Charities we support
All money raised goes to St Michaels Hospice and Sherfield Village Hall.
Opened in 1992, St Michael's Hospice provides care for patients across North Hampshire with a life-limiting illness and the goal of care is to help patients achieve the best possible quality of life. The Hospice receives less than 30% of its running costs through the Hampshire Primary Care Trust so the remainder needs to be raised through its shops and fundraising activities. With the help of the local community the Hospice can continue to provide its vital services.
Sherfield Village Hall is a great asset to the village and is used by many local organisations. Being a lovely old building, its upkeep is not cheap and renovations need to be done in a sympathetic manner. As a Charity, the only regular income the Hall has is from its hiring fees so donations and fund raising events are essential.
