St Catherine’s is close to many people’s hearts and without their unstinting and generous support our work would not be possible. Each and every donation is important to us. Here are just a few examples of how people have been raising funds in recent months.

In June 2008 we were delighted to receive a cheque for £2,265 from our supporters at Priory Farm in South Nutfield near Redhill.  It was a great pleasure to receive the cheque in person from the farm's owners and Dame Judi Dench.  As well as donating 50p from the sale of each Christmas tree, the Farm has also opened a Discovery Walk with 10% of the entry fee coming to St Catherine's.  Why not visit Priory Farm and benefit St Catherine's at the same time?

Thanks to everyone at Priory Farm for their continued support.

                                                                                                                                                                                     A huge thank you to Andy Jones, Mick O'Brien and Mike Dobie for organising a rock music event at  The Wingspan Club in June. We are so grateful to everyone involved for raising an incredible £3,250.
