Our third annual open day on 19th June was our biggest and best yet!
The weather was beautiful, we welcomed over 100 visitors to Thistles, and we raised a fantastic total of £2,642!As well as the opportunity to look round our day centre, visitors could buy plants, enjoy cake, ice cream and refreshments, enter a tombola, dance to a disco and live music, enjoy a hot dog or a burger for lunch, and even pet some rare breed Ouessant sheep.
There are so many people to thank for their help and support – we hope we haven’t missed anybody off this list:
- Charles Pinchbeck, Chairman of the Heckington Show
- LRS Car and Light Commercial Specialists
- Wigwam Holidays, Crowtree Farm
- The Chain Bridge pub, Boston

A special thank you goes out to all our volunteers, the staff team and the people we support. Without them our fundraiser would not have been nearly as successful.
