Oakwood presents a cheque to Chestnut Tree Hospice

Thu 15 October 2009

Parents at Oakwood School raised over £2600 for Chestnut Tree House, a children’s hospice in Poling, near Arundel. The money was raised at the annual Summer Ball held in the grounds of the school on the last day of the summer term. The theme of this year’s ball was ‘Bright and Beautiful’ and funds were raised for the hospice and for the school with a silent auction, by selling balloons containing mystery prizes and by a fabulous live auction on the night itself. 
The cheque was presented to Tracy Bowdery from Chestnut Tree House by Lucy Jackson, joint Chair of the Friends of Oakwood, and Jackie Sage and Unique Hang from the committee who organised the Ball.
The Hospice are going to use the money to help to pay for a magical Christmas party for all the children they care for.
