Local events in aid of Helen & Douglas House
The events shown here are run by amazing local people in aid of Helen & Douglas House. From cake sales to comedy nights, we’re so grateful for the wonderful ways our local community shows their support. We rely almost entirely on public donations to provide our care, so these events truly make a difference to local children with life limiting illnesses.
