Who remembers this brave soul who shaved all her hair off for charity?

She raised a whopping £510 for Wivey Cares which is just fantastic and we can't thank her enough

She also raised money for Cancer Research and her beautiful long locks were sent to the Princess Trust who create wigs for children who have lost their hair due to invasive cancer treatments

3 charities benefiting from a brave brave act. (I have it on good authority that shes loving the baldness in this heatwave!)

Wivey Cares relies so heavily on donations and fundraisers, so if you have an idea to do something crazy (or sensible) and would like to support Wivey Cares at the same time, do get in touch

We are very excited to be collaborating with Parkinson's UK in setting up a group to support anyone with Parkinsons and their families

This first session will be a fact finding mission, to monitor interest, need, and to find the best day/time to host a session once a month

Please come along as your input is valuable to making this group accessible to as many people as possible

If you can't attend on the 8th August, but have a preferred time/day and even venue option, for a monthly meeting, please email [email protected] and we will do our best to accomodate
