A Night of Charity and Celebration

Last year the Christmas Demonstration evening was a great success with over 100 people in attendance, lots of local artisans selling their hand-made items, and our creative and talented Florist Fleur demonstrating her skills with an 'Alice Through the Looking Glass' masterpiece. 

Last year, the final floral masterpiece was too large for the prize draw at the end of the evening, so it was donated to Marie Curie Cancer Centre so that the staff and patients could enjoy it.  

Fleur always enjoys the Floral Demonstration evenings, as it gives her creative freedom of what to create.  

Imagine being captivated by the intricate artistry as skilled florist Fleur transforms petals and foliage into breathtaking masterpieces. Get ready to immerse yourself in the world of floral wonder, where nature's beauty takes center stage. 

This year we are excited to see what theme Fleur will come up with.  So far we have had Strictly Come Dancing, Alice In Wonderland, Lion Witch & The Wardrobe, and The Wizard of Oz (just to name a few). However, we will have to wait until the night to see what amazing concept Fleur creates this year.  

Our charity event is poised to be an unforgettable evening dedicated to spreading love, kindness, and the true spirit of the holiday season. The doors open at 6.30pm, so you can browse the local craft stalls before taking your seat to watch the floral demonstrations which start at 7pm.

Our Bridge Chapel charity event on November 22nd is a celebration of all that is good in humanity. It's a celebration of our capacity to care, to create, and to uplift. Let's join hands, hearts, and spirits to make this evening a resounding success, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of those who need it most.

Brave Faye Gives Back to Alder Hey Hospital 

When we first heard about Faye's story we knew we had to help her reach her target for Alder Hey Children's Hospital.  In March 2023 Faye was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer - Rhabdomyosarcoma - a rapidly growing tumour in her tummy. Around 55 children a year in the UK are diagnosed with this cancer. Faye started chemotherapy treatment in Alder Hey straight away but due to a number of issues caused by her cancer, Faye remained in hospital for 3 months. 

On 13th July Faye underwent major surgery to remove her tumour. After 13 hours Faye was sent to ICU and we were told that, despite best efforts, the surgery had been unsuccessful and her tumour remained. Following her surgery, Faye battled sepsis and needed further emergency surgery.

In August Faye's treatment will intensify as she must move to Manchester for Radiotherapy. This treatment will take place daily for 6 weeks and will require another long stay away from home.

Despite all this, Faye has decided to sell Fairy Potions locally in Liverpool. She has been making these in between her treatments and has set up a pop-up shop to sell them to our friends and neighbours. She has begun to sell these locally with funds going to the ward that has supported her (and us) so well.

Hearing Faye's story touched our hearts and we want to support her in her venture to raise as much money as possible for Alder Hey's Children's Hospital.  Her target initially was £5,000, however, she has already reached £6,500 (at present) We are hoping that Faye and her family, will be able to come to our Charity Evening with her Fairy Potions so that you can all meet this brave and bright little girl.
