As we settle into the Autumn and Winter seasons and start thinking about lighting the cosy open fire at the centre, we are excited to bring you news of lots of events you can get involved with at Star Throwers - from a Christmas Afternoon Tea to even Santa's Skydives! We also have several new support services at the centre, including Colour Confidence sessions, a Secondary Cancer Support Group, and an additional Lymphoedema therapist to help support this service.
To fund these amazing services, we are looking for more friends of Star Throwers; these will support all our free cancer sessions and groups. You are welcome to find out more on our website.
We have lots of exciting events coming up. Our Christmas Coffee Morning takes place at the Star Throwers Centre on 16th November from 10am – 1pm; all are welcome! We are seeking raffle and auction prize donations for our sold-out Charity Ball on the 23rd of November. And our Christmas Afternoon Tea takes place at Park Farm Hotel in Hethersett on Sunday 15th December – tickets are still available, contact us to book: victoria@starthrowers.org.uk.
Thank you to the East of England Co-op's Wymondham food store for nominating us for a £150 donation and raising an extra £468.74 over the recent months as part of their Local Giving initiative. The money raised could fund over 15 individual support sessions for those affected by cancer. Our fundraisers have also been busy this year! Phil Websdale took on the Nottingham Outlaw Iron Man in memory of his friend Terri Read. Mattishall Golf Club raised £2,400 at their charity day. Wymondham Ex-Servicemen's Club raised £1,174.17 throughout the year, and Chloe and Will took on the Norwich 10k, raising £1,787.50! If you are interested in taking on a challenge for Star Throwers, please contact us, and we would love to support you: info@starthrowers.org.uk
