£1710 Raised at Halloween

This year we held 3 Halloween events, our usual Halloween window trails for the children in Wendover and Amersham. This year children had to find the spooky ghosts hiding in shop windows throughout the towns. Our 3rd event was a Halloween disco and raffle at Jason and Ana’s local pub in the Lee, this was very well attended and is something that we plan to do on a regular basis to raise money for local charities.

This Halloween we raised a total of £1710.00 for the Rennie Grove Peace Hospice and the Florence Nightingale Hospice.

Alice in Amersham

We were excited to be asked to host one of our popular window trails as part of Amersham’s day of events for the first ever Buckinghamshire Culture open weekend. We chose “Alice in Wonderland” as our theme (renamed to Alice in Amersham), Ana dressed as Alice and Jason as the Mad hatter! It was great to see so many families out enjoying the trail (and the cakes at our mad hatter’s tea party after). We also raised £200 for the Rennie Grove Hospice from donations given by those who took part in the trail, and even some passers by who just wanted some cake!

The Amersham Christmas Window Trail

Following the success of our Spooky Spider Trail at Halloween we decided to put together the Amersham Christmas Window Trail. We have brought together 40 local businesses (and Father Christmas) to put on this fun free festive event for the local children.

Update

The Santa Saturdays were so much fun. A big thank you to all the local Amersham businesses that took part, decorating windows and donating prizes for our raffle. Also thank you to everybody that came to enjoy the fun with us (especially those who bought raffle tickets or made a donation).

The Santa Saturdays were so much fun and we raised over £1000,00 for Rennie Grove Hospice Care.

Spooky Spider Halloween Trail

Well Halloween has been and gone and what a fantastic time we all had. With over 400 children participating, lots in really spooky costumes. Such a welcome break from the strange year that is 2020. So many have requested we make this an annual event, so of course we are going to do so. Thank you to everyone who took part and joined in the fun.

Santa Dash

We had great fun at the weekend taking part in this years Santa Dash. Held in Hemel Hempstead, the Santa Dash raises much needed funds for the Hospice of St Francis.

Thank you to all those who sponsored us.

Chiltern Toy Bank

It's been a busy year for us at J Brown Funeral Services so it was nice to be in a position to buy some toys for the Chiltern Toy Bank.

Chiltern Toy Bank is a fantastic cause, they provides help to struggling families in the community at Christmas time.

Here we go again!

After raising £520 for Scannappeal back in June this time we are taking on the Mud Pack Challenge raising much needed funds for the Hospice of St Francis in Berkhamsted. The Mud Pack challenge is 5 miles of muddy, wet fun as we slide, swing, wade and crawl to tackle natural, man-made, and military-style obstacles around the stunning private grounds of Ashridge House. The Hospice of St Francis is a charity that provides free care and support for patients, families and carers affected by cancer and other life-limiting illnesses, offering medical care, practical advice and emotional support.

We did it!

It was a cold windy afternoon and the last thing we wanted to do was spend it wading chest deep through muddy water, but we did it! And what a lot of fun it was too.

Thank you to all who sponsored us. With your help Ana and Jason raised £425 for this fantastic Hospice.
