GEMS – April 2025
Firstly, we would like to say a big “THANK YOU” to Andrew and Edd at The Kings Head. They and all their customers have raised an amazing £3,819.23 in their second year of trading. This just shows the generosity and kindness of this wonderful community. The money will go towards our new aim of working with a local establishment to provide a night of respite for LRI patients whilst they are receiving their cancer treatment.
Some dates for your diary
The Clutter Sale at The Railway will be held on Friday 9 and Saturday 10 May. With the facility to drop off your clutter from 2pm on Thursday 8 May. Why not start your Spring sorting of unwanted items?
We are excited that Smeeton Open Gardens will take place on Sunday 22 June. And pleased to have a good number of gardens involved! If you are interested in helping in any way – by opening your garden, donating plants or cuttings, making a cake or volunteering your time for a short while. Or if you like making crafts and would like a stall, please drop us an email gemscharity@gmail.com
Stay after the Open Gardens to enjoy a drink and listen to Brass on the Grass at 6pm. They are kindly raising funds for GEMS Charity.
GEMS Golf Day will be held at Glen Gorse Golf Club on Friday 22 August for teams of four. Have a chat with other keen golfers and get the date in your diary now. Watch out for more information nearer the time.
We are looking forward to seeing you at these events. Please have a look at our website www.gemscharity.com to find out more and to see where all the help and donations have been spent. Many thanks once again to everyone who supports us in any way. Without you we couldn’t do what we do.
