💚Thank You Thursday💚
🗻First up... is this the first time St John’s Hospice t-shirt has made it all the way to Everest Base Camp?! A huge thank you and congratulations to Gez Nicholls, a seasoned trekker who has joined us on many Hospice fundraising adventures over the years. This time he took on the challenge solo and has successfully reached Everest Base Camp this week! Gez has already raised over £750 and counting, and we are so grateful for his incredible dedication and continued support of St John's Hospice.
🐦 Thanks to Nicki and the team from The Blossom Bird in Silverdale. They raised £120 on Valentine's Day by making a donation from every sale over £10. We are so grateful for your on-going support!
🍟A big thank to you to Lynne & Jim who recently held their annual ‘Chip Butty Sunday’ event – which is a darts event, involving chip butties – what’s not to love?! They chose to support St John’s Hospice this year with the funds raised on the day, and we were delighted to receive a fantastic £566! Thank you to all involved and to The Black Bull Bentham for hosting.
⭐A huge thank you to Brenda Patching and the wonderful Silverdale Ladies, also lovingly known as the Thrifty Ladies! As one of their designated charities for 2026, they have kindly presented us with a cheque for £1,000. Since 2020 the ladies have raised an amazing £4,296 for St John's Hospice. This is a truly remarkable achievement, fundraise every single week through baking, coffee mornings, and bric‑a‑brac sales - all while bringing their community together! Your ongoing support means so much to us.
🍰Thank you to the Owls Nest pub for bringing their community together in support of our hospice, by hosting a wonderful coffee morning and raising £225.95.
