💜 Thank You! 💜

Once again, thank you to everyone who came along to our Family Fun Day on Saturday!

We are delighted to share that, thanks to your incredible support, we raised an amazing £6,250!! 👏🏻👏🏻

This money will make a real difference to children receiving cancer treatment and their families, helping us continue to provide support when it is needed most. We truly cannot thank you enough.

None of this would have been possible without everyone who attended, took part, donated, or volunteered their time to help make the day such a success.

Well done to the team at the Pavilion who worked really hard, we know it was extremely busy for you!

A special thank you to everyone who kindly donated delicious cakes for our cake stall – it was greatly appreciated.

Another special thank you to Caroline Cooper for presenting the trophies to the winners of the Ashbourne Dash. Caroline kindly chose The Eve Shipley Trust as one of her chosen charities during her time as Mayor of Ashbourne last year, and we are incredibly grateful for her continued support.

We would also like to say a huge thank you to all of our Event Sponsors and Ashbourne Dash Sponsors. Your generosity and support helped make this event possible, and we are so grateful to have you behind The Eve Shipley Trust.

Thank you to Paul’s Ices, The Olde Sweet Shop, Pilgrims ladies and Delicious Co Fired Pizzas for attending and your donations!

Finally, thank you to everyone who generously donated prizes for our raffle and tombola:

💜 The Green Man
💜 Rabbit & Stitch
💜 Prestons
💜 Chilled Pubs
💜 Daltons Dairy
💜 Co-op
💜 Dog & Partridge, Marchington
💜 Herbert’s Tea Rooms
💜 Loaf
💜 Claire Pegg
💜 Ashbourne Show Commitee
💜 Café Impromptu
💜 Henry & Co
💜 On A Wick & A Prayer
💜 Cheddar Gorge

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us make a difference. 🙏🏻

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday! We had such a wonderful day, and we hope you did too.

We’ll be sharing photos, race results, and the total amount raised over the next few days, so keep an eye on our page!

We were also delighted to welcome some very special guests to officially start our Fun Run. Martha, her mum Hayley, and her sister Millie joined us for the day, with Millie taking part in the Fun Run. At just 5 years old, Martha was the very first child to be referred to the Eve Shipley Trust, and it was incredibly special to have her with us.

Thank you once again to everyone who took part, volunteered, sponsored, and supported the event. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Same time, same place next year—for an even bigger and better event! 💜
