Charitable Giving
At our AGM each year, members nominate and vote for a local charity to support through the year through our monthly raffle and cake sales at our meetings, our annual garden party and other ad hoc fundraising events.
Our chosen charity for 2023/24 is Samaritans.org
Garden Parties
We hold a Summer Party each August when a generous SR member opens up their garden to us. Proceeds from drinks, cakes and plants sales and a raffle contribute to fundraising for our chosen charity of the year.
Crafting for Macmillan Cancer Support
In 2022 members began crafting for Macmillan’s Cancer Support team at Whipps Cross Hospital. Our talented crafters have been sewing heart-shaped cushions destined for local women undergoing breast cancer surgery. As of November 2022 over 100 cushions have been donated.
