Christmas fundraising events

Christmas fundraising events

Each Christmas time the nursery has a variety of events to raise money for the mental health charities Mind & Restore. 

Andrew & Liz (the owners of the nursery) tragically lost their son Jack in 2017 after a short-period of mental illness at the age of 23. Christmas is very difficult not just for us but for many families across the country so each year we try to raise funds for two wonderful charities. 

Due to Covid we will not be doing our annual cycle-athon to get Father Christmas back to the North Pole as we feel that it is not safe to do so. However, if you would like to make a donation to Mind or Restore that would be greatly received as we know how much charities have been struggling this year and how this year is even tougher for those struggling with mental health issues.

If you would like to support us please follow the link above or make a donation when you pop by the nursery to choose your tree. 

Instead of the Cycle-athon we have a few other events...

This year's events:

*Reindeer Challenge*
