Posted by Vicki Eltis on Jul 2, 08 04:15 PM in Good Causes

Six mums from Elmbridge are organising a 'family fair' to raise cash for Sam Beare Hospice.
It has taken several months to organise and will take place at St Andrew's Church Hall in Hersham Road, Walton, on Friday July 11, 3.30pm.

The Magnificent Six
Among the attractions will be a raffle with £100 Debenhams gift voucher as a prize, a tombola, stalls, a treasure hunt, lucky dip.
Helen Seear, 40, was motivated to fundraise after losing her 71-year-old father Edward Foster to prostate cancer in March. While fellow event organiser, Debbie Beach, lost her father, Barry Johnson, to a brain tumour in April 2006.
Debbie, 38, of Esher Road, Hersham, said: "I was heavily pregnant with my fourth child when my dad went into the hospice. I cannot express what a relief it was for myself and my family, for him to be cared for in such a peaceful and kind environment with such a thoughtful and empathetic team of doctors and nurses,
Sam Beare Hospice, based in Weybridge, provides specialist palliative care and support services for residents with life limiting and terminal illnesses. They receive part funding from the PCT, but need the vital support of the community to help raise funds to continue their essential work.
Debbie added: "We want to raise at least £1,000 for the hospice. I hope residents and families will show their support and come along to our fun day."
Admission is free and there is ample parking in the church car park.
