Wine merchant gets Summer Garden Party started
A wine merchant has got the upcoming Pilgrims Hospices Summer Garden Party in high spirits after donating a fantastic 16 cases of wine towards the event on Saturday 4 August 2018.
K&L Wines have really got the party started with their extremely generous donation, which will ensure visitors will be able to try their luck on popular games at the party including Booze or Lose and Bottle Fishing.
Victoria Friar, Community Fundraising Manager for Ashford, said: “I would like to say a massive thank you to K&L Wines and indeed everybody in the community who has donated wine, Pimm’s and soft drinks for our Summer Garden Party. With more than 1,000 bottles used throughout the day as prizes or as part of our refreshments, the support has been fantastic this year.

“With only a few days to go there is still a little time to donate goods for the party, whether handmade or bought from a supermarket. Bottles of Pimm’s, soft drinks, new toys and games, jigsaws and whole cakes are especially appreciated. If you can help, please drop items into reception in the hospice on Hythe Road by the end of Friday 3 August.”
This annual event, which raised a record breaking £22,500 last year, is free to enter and runs from 12pm – 4pm in the grounds of the Ashford hospice on Hythe Road. There is a free park and ride from the Mersham-le-Hatch Business Village with lots of parking available; this is well signposted from the hospice. For more information please call the Ashford Fundraising office on 01233 504 111.
Each year Pilgrims Hospices needs to raise £11m through voluntary donations to provide end of life care to the local community.
