Fabulous Family Fun Day raises in excess of £26k for Salisbury Hospice Charity

16th May, 2023

The 9th annual Fabulous Family Fun Day, kindly sponsored by Ozweld International, took place at Salisbury Rugby Club on Saturday. The Fun Day, which has grown every year, is organised in memory of Lyn Futcher who was supported by the hospice in 2013. We were delighted to see 15 football and 11 touch rugby teams play tournaments this year, together with live music, children’s entertainment, a display by Phoenix Stars and a beer festival. The raffle, with a chance to win a holiday at Beyaz Villas in Turkey, was very popular once more.

The sunny day exceeded all expectations with a record attendance and the most ever raised for Salisbury Hospice. This amount brings the overall total raised at The Fabulous Family Fun Day since its’ first year in 2013 to more than £100,000. Salisbury Hospice Charity is so grateful to Ozweld International, alongside the fabulous committee, additional sponsors, performers, supporters, dedicated volunteers and exhibitors, 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,

When I was told how much we had raised there was a tear in my eye; never in my wildest dreams did I ever think we’d raise so much in one year. Thanks to all who attended, our sponsors & our committee.

Tamsin Murley, Community Fundraiser for Salisbury Hospice Charity added

We are so grateful to everyone who supported us in putting on this wonderful event and all those who came along to enjoy their day in the sunshine. I would particularly like to thank Greig and his incredibly hardworking committee of Sarah, Spencer, Sam, Clare and Jason for continuing to work tirelessly to create such a valuable fundraising event in our calendar. To have raised £100,000 in total is a remarkable achievement; every penny they have raised will go towards funding the vital services that the Hospice provides, free of charge, to members of the community.

We are pleased to announce Fabulous Family Fun Day will be returning next year on Saturday 11th May 2024!
