This month, we featured in Tunbridge Wells Business Magazine. The article covers The Exiles’ annual St George’s Day Lunch in aid of The Pickering Cancer Drop-In Centre, held at The Spa Hotel.
The Exiles held their annual St George’s Day Lunch in aid of The Pickering Cancer Drop- In Centre at The Spa Hotel on Friday April 25. In the nine years the event has been running, the group of local business leaders have raised around £200,000 for the Tunbridge Wells charity that provides support to people with cancer, as well as their family and friends. The amount raised was an impressive £36,195.91 – the second highest amount ever made at the annual fundraising lunch.
Chair of the Board of Trustees, David Bartholomew, thanked attendees for their support and shared news about the charity’s Key to the Door Fundraising Campaign – set up with the goal of raising £150,000 to support Pickering with the move to a new Centre in Tunbridge Wells as it celebrates its 21st birthday this year. Polly Taylor, co-founder of The Pickering Cancer Drop-In Centre, who recently retired from the charity, also thanked The Exiles for their incredible support over the years.
