The fayre, which took place at the Hospice building on Waverley Lane in Farnham, was very popular with local residents, who enjoyed the raffle, tombola, treasure hunt and refreshments, as well as the Christmas craft and gift stalls.
“We would like to thank all those who supported us by coming along to the fayre,” said Fiona Chapman, Events Fundraiser at Phyllis Tuckwell. “The amount raised has not yet been confirmed, but we are hoping that it will be in excess of £1,500. This money will help us to provide the outstanding care which we offer patients and relatives facing a terminal illness. Every day we support over 250 patients and relatives, but as the NHS/Government only covers 20% of our costs, we have to raise over £15,000 a day to do this.”
