Dawn Ledgard Autumn 2017 Clothes Sale @ Hadley Wood Association Centre

Oct 24 @ 10:30 am – 3:30 pm

To help you look good in the new fashion season you are invited to come along to the Dawn Ledgard Autumn 2017 Clothes Sale. These popular seasonal sales offer a good value opportunity to buy from an extensive range of beautiful designer clothing, jewellery and accessories.

As usual, this sale will be held at the Hadley Wood Association Centre (behind the Tennis Club). As past customers know, buying here is much more convenient than a trip into the West End. It is also much more enjoyable and reliable than buying online. Why not bring a friend and take a break to chat over coffee?

Donations of £1 at the door, plus commission on sales, will be given to Cherry Lodge Cancer Care to help fund our valuable services for people affected by cancer.

Running the Big Half in support of Cherry Lodge – please sponsor Sarah @ Big Half route

Mar 4 all-day

On Sunday 4th March 2018, Sarah Finlay will be taking part in a new London half marathon to raise money for Cherry Lodge Cancer Care’s much needed services for people affected by cancer. Please sponsor her via her Virgin money fundraising page.

Sarah is raising money in memory of Tim Yonel, a former member of Cherry Lodge. In her words:

“Tim was an amazing young man, clever, talented, funny and caring – he was also my nephew’s best friend. They went through Beavers and Cubs together with their goal being NOT to be awarded the achievement/activity badges that others were desperate to gain – they achieved this goal with flying colours!

Tim was diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of 23 while on a gap year in Sydney, Australia before starting out on his career path. He sadly lost his fight with this cruel disease in May 2016 at the age of 30. Cherry Lodge played a valuable part in supporting Tim’s family while they cared for him during his illness.”

The Big Half is a new London half marathon event created by the organisers of the London Marathon. As well as sponsoring Sarah and helping raise funds for Cherry Lodge Cancer Care, you might like to go down to Greenwich on the day to spur Sarah on and enjoy the Vitality Big Festival. This will be an exuberant celebration of London’s diverse culture, with food and music in Greenwich Park throughout the day.
