Festive Fundraising

Willow Wood has to raise £2.5million to maintain and develop our services and we have a wide-ranging calendar of fundraising events. Two very different events being held in the next couple of weeks are our Kids Com Car Boot Sale and the Festival of Christmas Music.

Sunday 25 November sees our last indoor car boot sale of the year at Astley Sports Centre. All pitches are already sold out, and it’s the ideal place to pick up a pre-loved bargain – just in time for Christmas! As the name suggests, it’s aimed at children of all ages, and there will be books, toys, dvds, clothes and more, all at bargain prices.

The following Sunday, 2 December sees the ever-popular Festival of Christmas Music, in the impressive surroundings of the Albion Church, Ashton. Organised by a committed team of volunteers, this will feature the Accord Choir and the Ashton-under-Lyne Brass Band. Admission is by programme, available at the Willow Wood reception and both the Ashton and Stalybridge Hospice shops. At just £5 including a cup of tea or coffee and a mince pie it’s a wonderful way to start the festive season.

Full details of these, and our other fundraising events are available by visiting our events diary.
