Great to Picnic!

Julie and I spent an enjoyable couple of hours at Hamilton House on Saturday as they held their 'Picnic in the Park' event for their residents, friends and families: great tea, cakes and company. What more could one want on sunny Saturday afternoon. Charlotte Fenton, the Recreation and Leisure Coordinator sent me this statement and the pics below. 

Here at Hamilton House, one of our residents grandson has brain cancer and is fundraising for treatment as it isn’t available on the NHS so they have set up a go fund page to raise the funds for his treatment. We decided to show our support by turning our Picnic In The Park event into a fundraiser for the Oli’s Fight.

We had a flute player, singer, magician and a Zumba dance group. We had stall set of food and drink stall, kings and queens children’s fancy dress competition, raffle, tombola, hook the duck, lucky dip, guess how many sweets are in the jar, guess how many balloons are in the mini and a selling stool.

The Town Mayor Jon Harvey also held a presentation for a cheque to Hamilton House that ‘The energy effect fitness studio’ in Buckingham raised for our resident fund and a special gift and thank you to our resident Betty Saving for all the dedication and hard work she puts in to help maintain our garden.

The residents, relatives, team and visitors had lots of fun at the event and managed to raise over £250 for Oli’s Fight.

It is all good stuff! Well done Hamilton House for putting this on and raising so much money.
