The 10th annual Fabulous Family Fun Day, kindly sponsored by Ozweld International, took place at Salisbury Rugby Club on Saturday 11th May. The Fun Day is organised in memory of Lyn Futcher, who was supported by the hospice in 2013.
The football tournament, sponsored by Jones & Co proved as popular as ever, and the touch rugby tournament, sponsored by Adam’s Autos was competitive from start to finish. The live music stage with a variety of performance from local bands and singers, a day full of entertainment for children, and a much enjoyed beer tent for the adults, added to the day. More upbeat family entertainment was provided in the main performance arena, which was new for the 10th anniversary, and sponsored by Complete Construction Salisbury. The raffle, with a chance to win a holiday in Turkey for four people, kindly donated by Beyaz Villas, was as popular as ever.
2024 was the year that raised the most money ever for Salisbury Hospice Charity, helped by a sunny day and record attendance.
Salisbury Hospice Charity is so grateful not only to Ozweld International and our other wonderful sponsors, but also we extend a huge thank you to the fabulous committee, Salisbury Rugby Club, raffle prize donors, performers, supporters, dedicated volunteers and everyone who came along to have fun at the event, for making this day feasible and achieving such an incredible amount for the hospice.
Chairman of the fundraising committee, Greig Futcher had the following to say,
That’ll do! Brilliant – thank you so much everybody.
Tamsin Murley, Community Fundraiser for Salisbury Hospice Charity added,
I am once more humbled by how incredibly hard this dedicated committee of Greig, Sarah, Spencer, Sam, Clare and Jason work; they are truly remarkable. We are also so very grateful to Ozweld International, Salisbury Rugby Club and everyone who supported us in many different ways to put on this wonderful event. To raise £31,000 in one day is a remarkable achievement; every penny raised will go towards funding the vital services that the hospice provides, free of charge, to members of the community.
