Events Programme
Cherry Lodge Cancer Care fundraisers work hard to put on an interesting and varied programme of events. Coming up next is the Hadley Wood Golf Club Christmas Market on Thursday 21st November 2024.

Use the drop-down menu immediately below this text to select either ‘Agenda’ (an interactive list with dates, which is the default option) or ‘Month’ (an interactive calendar that shows the planned events month by month). Each of these options provides an overview of our scheduled events.

Cherry Lodge’s regular quiz setters, David and Maureen Southon, will be returning to Mary Immaculate and St Peter’s Church Hall on Saturday 6th May 2017 for our upcoming Spring Quiz.
Word has got around that Cherry Lodge’s quizzes offer a great night out, with well chosen questions on a good range of topics, as well as an excellent fish and chip supper or vegetarian alternative. All 12 tables (for a maximum of 8 people) have already been booked – but if you are still keen to attend, please contact Tina, who will be able to let you know if there are any cancellations or individual spaces remaining.
Our Annual General Meeting will be held at the Cherry Lodge Centre, Howard House in Union Street, Barnet on Tuesday 16h May 2017 at 7.30pm. Anyone with an interest in Cherry Lodge and our work is invited to attend.
After the business of the AGM, there will be a presentation by Tottenham Hotspur Foundation in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support on their innovative MOVE4YOU Cancer Physical Activity Programme. (This will replace the previously announced talk on the subject of dementia and cancer care, which has had to be rescheduled.)
If you wish to attend, please RSVP by 15th May to Yvonne Shield on 020 8441 7000 or email yvonne@cherrylodgecancercare.org.uk
Please visit the Snowdon Stars’ fundraising page and make a donation to support the fantastic fundraising effort of the grandchildren of one of the many individuals and their families who have benefited from the services of Cherry Lodge Cancer Care. Please sponsor the children as generously as you can.
Here is their story:
Hi, we are Kia and Myan, Our grandfather passed away on 21st September 2016 after a short battle with stomach cancer. He was lovingly supported by Cherry Lodge Cancer Care and North London Hospice during his illness and they were a great support to him and the family.
This started out as just family and friends but in order to help raise our target we have come together with a local youth club close to our heart to aim high.
With the great support of Masters Youth Club, family and friends, we aim to help raise a lot of money for these charities as well as have a great time climbing. My grandfather was actively involved in the club for many years.
Masters Youth Club have generously come on board to help us with this venture and hope that with the support of all our friends, family and local businesses, we can raise so much funds for these charities that help look after patients like our grandad.
Our friends, Ambika (6), Maya (10), Siya (7), Nikhil (14), Krish (10), Keyush (14), Ishan (14), Shiv (8) and Diya (5) are climbing with us and their parents/carers are joining and encouraging us youngsters to do well. So please dig deep and give generously to support us and the two wonderful charities.
Thanks,
Kia and Myan
