Jessie May, the children’s hospice at home charity, is launching a new family fundraiser event in Swindon next month.
The fun-filled event will take place at Swindon Rugby Club on Saturday 4 August, and feature a fantastic line-up of entertainment including a fun fair, live music, dog show and bouncy castle.
Disney-lovers can also expect a visit from Frozen’s Princess Elsa and Queen Ana during the Jessie May Family Fun Day, while a tombola, raffle, face-painting and sand-art painting will keep the whole family entertained.
Money raised from the event will go towards funding the charity’s nurses, who currently provide care to terminally ill children across Wiltshire, Bristol, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset, Bath and North East Somerset.
Debbie Clark, Swindon and Wiltshire Fundraising Officer for Jessie May, said: “We’re really excited to launch what we aim to be an annual fundraiser here in Swindon. This is our first fun day in the town and we invite everyone to come along and enjoy a wonderful day at the rugby club.
“There’s plenty to keep the whole family busy, from ‘Paw Patrol’ to ‘Hook the duck’, and a BBQ and bar will keep everyone refreshed.
“All proceeds from the event will go to Jessie May, whose nurses are supporting 40 children and families across Wiltshire alone. Our charity is hugely reliant on funding raised from events like this, so we hope to bring the whole community together and put on a great family day for a local, worthy cause.”
The Jessie May Family Fun Day takes place on Saturday 4 August, between 10am and 4pm at Swindon Rugby Club.
Entry to the event is free entry, while all donations to Jessie May are welcome.
