🎉 £4,580.50 Raised at the Shed Showdown!
We are so proud to share the success of the Shed Showdown at Midtown Farm, Crosby Ravensworth, which raised an incredible £9,161 for the Neonatal Unit at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary.
👶 The funds will help purchase phototherapy blankets for premature babies with jaundice, supporting families like Michelle Fisher’s, whose son Ollie received life-saving care in the unit.
🎶 The weekend was packed with live music from local performers (including 6-year-old Phoebe Thomas and 85-year-old Caroline Charles!), a Fell and Dales tractor show, and even a prize for the best dressed-up pizza van!
🙏 Huge thanks to everyone who attended, performed, donated, and sponsored the event. Every penny raised goes directly to helping those who need it most.

Will you donate a book?

Your books can bring comfort and escape to patients in hospital.
It offers a powerful way to step into another world, helping patients momentarily disconnect from their surroundings. This simple act can lift spirits, ease anxiety, and support overall wellbeing.

Let's turn pages into smiles 😍

Drop off at Charity Offices, Main Entrance FGH or Bromley Corridor, Medical Unit One, RLI. 🩷💜
