Cherry Lodge Cancer Care is extremely grateful to Psychobilly Kicks Back (PKB) and the wider psychobilly rockabilly music community for their fantastic ongoing support. Their donation of £2,300 in early 2024 takes the total they have raised for us to date to a most impressive £50,676. Once again, we give special thanks to PKB founder Steve Meadham and his wife Amanda.
Putting on an Event for Cherry Lodge
If you would like to put on an event to raise money on our behalf, either as an individual or through your workplace or another organisation, we would be delighted to hear from you.
We believe that raising money for Cherry Lodge Cancer Care should be a joint venture and we will be happy to support you in any way we can. For example, our Fundraising team can give you advice, help you plan and perhaps run your event, help you with publicity, lend you promotional material, and, as appropriate, provide Cherry Lodge signs, T-shirts and certificates.
Whether your plans are big or small we really would love to hear from you. We can help you over the phone, in person at our Centre, or by coming to talk to your group. For more information please contact our Charity Administrator and Fundraising Events Coordinator, Tina Papasavva, on 020 8441 7000 or email tina@cherrylodgecancercare.org.uk.

Cha Nights at the Arkley Club
Thank you very much indeed to the organisers of the Arkley Club Cha Nights, which they put on very successfully every few months. All proceeds from these events are donated to Cherry Lodge Cancer Care. There have been three Arkley Club Cha Nights so far in 2024: on 23rd February, 17th May, and 30th August. The next one is on Friday 29th November 2024. Attendees enjoy great music from the 1960s and ’70s and make the most of the opportunity to dance the evening away for a very affordable £5 entry fee.
New Ground OWCH
OWCH (Older Women’s Co-housing Community) moved into ‘New Ground’, Union Street, Barnet in November 2016 and have been supporters of Cherry Lodge from the beginning. We thank them for their ongoing support. Fundraising events held in aid of Cherry Lodge have included very successful Preloved Clothes and Accessories Sales. In November 2023, New Ground resident and Cherry Lodge volunteer Charlotte, was interviewed on BBC Radio London and took the opportunity to tell people about CL’s very special place in the community. On 14th December 2024, Charlotte is putting on an inhouse Festive Quiz, with mulled wine and raffle, to raise money for Cherry Lodge.
Summer Soulstice and Big Payback 2024
Summer Soulstice 2024, held on Saturday 15th June 2024 at Old Elizabethans’ Memorial Playing Fields, was very much enjoyed despite the challenging weather. Top class live soul acts and music from 30 of the UK’s favourite DJ’s filled the three music arenas. Lots of entertainment for children, interesting stalls, and a wide range of delicious food and drinks helped make this a great day out. A fantastic £20,000 raised by the festival was ceremonially handed over to representatives of Cherry Lodge at the Summer Soulstice Big Payback event at Barnet’s Black Horse pub on August Bank Holiday Sunday.
