Fundraising for Katharine House Hospice

An earlier post advertised a Gala dinner for KHH on 22nd November. See below for more information, including how you can support the event by offering an Auction Lot or Raffle prize.

Dear Reader

May I take this opportunity to introduce myself and my reason for making contact.

My name is Marilena, and I am a volunteer for Katharine House Hospice where I offer my time to cover as a Ward Receptionist and help with fundraising.

Katharine House Hospice is your local hospice – providing specialist palliative care for adults with an incurable illness across north Oxfordshire and south Northamptonshire.

Hospice care at Katharine House is for anyone over the age of 18 years who has an advanced life-limiting illness. The care is delivered by a multi-professional team who have specialised in this field and take a holistic approach, considering physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs. We support people from the point of diagnosis onwards – and will be there for patients for as long as they need, whether that is days, weeks, months or even years.

Katharine House Hospice also recognise the importance of those close to their patients. Family and friends are affected too, and they may have lots of concerns and questions that the Hospice will answer and offer support.

All the hospice’s services are FREE to the patient and their families. In order to help ensure that this care can keep on going for many years to come we need to continually support them with raising funds for the Hospice.

I am therefore delighted to confirm that I have a confirmed date of 22nd November 2025 for a fundraising Black Tie Gala Dinner and Dance being held at the Cotswold Hotel and Spa, Chipping Norton.

The evening will offer ‘Bubbly’ on arrival followed by a 3 course sit down dinner with music and dancing through the night.  We will be holding an Auction and Raffle with one or two other fundraising items taking place during the evening, so an opportunity for everyone attending to be involved in helping raise funds for the Hospice.

Would you be interested in taking a table for the Evening ?  We have tables of 8’s and 10’s available and the ticket price is £75.00 per person.  If you are unable to pull a table together then individual tickets are available also.  Tickets are going well so we have a limited number remaining, so if you do wish to join us, then please let me know as soon as possible so we can hold a table for you.

Another way of supporting the event could be by offering an Auction Lot or raffle prize.  Would this be something you could help us with? Whatever you are able to offer would be gratefully received.

I thank you for taking the time to read my email and hope to hear back from you with some positive news and can be contacted on Whatsapp on 07891 178920 or by email mjkearns@hotmail.co.uk

With best wishes

Marilena
