This year there is even more reason than usual to support Cherry Lodge Cancer Care’s Grand Annual Raffle.

Please help us raise as much money as possible from this year’s Annual Grand Raffle, by buying tickets for yourself and also selling tickets to your family members and friends.
We urge everyone who cares about Cherry Lodge to:

Cherry Lodge Cancer Care very much hopes that you will be able to join us at our annual Lights of Love ceremony on Sunday 13th December 2020.

The ceremony will take place inside Howard House, the Cherry Lodge centre. There will be music from a professional violinist and, as usual, the names of the people to be remembered will be read out. The lights on the bandstand will be switched on before the ceremony begins and will stay lit over the festive period.
PLEASE NOTE THE CORRECTED TIME: 5.15pm for 5.30pm. (The memorial invitation cards were printed and sent out before arrangements had to be changed.)
Everyone who has made a donation and received an invitation card will be sent an email giving the Zoom link and passcode.
