Salisbury Hospice Charity are delighted to announce that the Open Garden at Hatch House has raised in excess of £20,000 for Salisbury Hospice.
The event, held on Saturday the 10th of September, is an annual event hosted by Sir Henry and Lady Rumbold and organised by the fabulous Tisbury Fundraising Committee.
The many varied stalls included: vintage and pre-loved designer clothes, shoes, hats and bag, antiques and collectables, raffle, cakes, organic produce, local honey, plants, ethical gifts and homewares, jumble and books. Refreshments were provide by a team of wonderful volunteers and a BBQ by Compton McRae. The glorious weather ensured guests could make the most of the outdoors and were able to sit with a refreshment and enjoy the idyllic scenery that surrounds the house.
All left over items from the stalls were donated to Alabaré, a local charity that supports the homeless.
Salisbury Hospice Charity would like to thank Sir Henry Rumbold and Lady Rumbold for once again welcoming us to the grounds of Hatch House. Notable thanks to the team of industrious helpers for their many hours of organising all the clothes for sale, together with the Tisbury committee for their incredible hard work organising and running the event and all the Hospice volunteers who helped the event run so smoothly.
The wider team at Salisbury Hospice are so thankful for this outstanding total that will fund the vital hospice services, ensuring the service remains free to its’ patients and their families.
Tamsin Murley, Community fundraiser for Salisbury Hospice Charity had the following to say:
“I am delighted to announce the huge fundraising total for this event and express our huge gratitude to the Tisbury Committee and all extended volunteers. The continued support shown by Sir Henry & Lady Rumbold is phenomenal and they are without doubt the heart and soul of this event. See you all again next year!”
