Please donate to our Strawberry Festival Appeal

Mary Potter Hospice

Every November you’d usually find us and our amazing team of volunteers serving up thousands of strawberry sundaes as part of our Hospice Strawberry Festival. Our ‘strawesome’ events raise $80,000 (that's over 13,000 sundaes!) of crucial funds for Mary Potter Hospice. However this year, due to COVID-19 we’ve had to cancel our series of berrylicous events.

Losing these funds would cause significant financial strain for the Hospice – can you help us reach our $80,000 fundraising goal? Please share some sweetness by donating to our Hospice Strawberry Festival Appeal today.
