Land Girls performance at Haskins raises £700 at SPRING fundraiser
The audience at Haskins in Ferndown enjoyed hits from the wartime years in a fundraiser for baby loss charity.
SPRING, a family support service that provides a high level of care to families that have experienced baby loss received £700 from a Land Girls gig which took place at Haskins Ferndown recently.
The Dorset-based performers donned authentic costumes and sang a medley of renowned wartime hits, with the audience enjoying a cream tea during the interval.
SPRING, which is part of University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity, is Haskins’ chosen charity for the year.
Steering Group member, Louise Chissell said: “It was amazing to see Haskins hosting such a fun and fantastic evening in support of SPRING. These fundraisers help us continue to provide the vital support needed for parents and relatives who face the unimaginable loss of a baby at any stage of pregnancy.
“We cannot help parents across Dorset without the support of the local community. I would like to say thank you to everybody who came to Haskins and donated towards SPRING. Each donation makes such a difference to how parents face and navigate life after bereavement.”
Haskins Ferndown also supported Forest Holme Hospice by donating 80 bedding plants for the care facility’s Tie a Yellow Ribbon Day. Children attending at Poole Park were invited to plant the bedding in memory of friends or family.
The garden centre has also recently provided benches to High Mead Community Therapy Farm, for use by the animal and horticultural teams at the site.
A second charity concert evening, supporting SPRING and presented by the Love Soul Choir, will take place at Haskins Ferndown later this year.
