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.

Victoria St could also be changed, with no traffic between Manners St and Wakefield St, and a possible service lane in the southbound direction.
