They are holding information sessions for people who would be interested in joining one of our Supporter Groups – these are groups that fundraise in their local areas, through events, placing collection cans and promoting events. Last year our Supporter Groups raised over £40,000 so the work they do is vitally important. We have got information sessions at the St Bede’s Conference Centre (in the grounds of the hospice) from 2.30 – 4pm on Wednesday 8th October and from 7.30 – 9pm on Thursday 9th October. More information from Kerry on 020 8254 2465 or [email protected]

· Saturday 1st November, Saturday Morning Pictures at St Bede’s Conference Centre (in the grounds of the hospice) – doors open at 10.30am.

Whether you are 8 or 80, a lot of your favourites will be there, Tom and Jerry, Laurel and Hardy and Our Gang, plus the mandatory serial cliff-hanger. Tickets are £7 for adults, £4 for children or a family ticket for £20 (2 adults, 2 children). For more details contact Brian Giles on 020 8648 1989 or [email protected]
