Teddy20 Supporting Children with Cancer is a charity based in Blandford Forum, Dorset. Their aim is to provide Emotional and Financial Support to children and young people suffering and undergoing treatment for Cancer. Teddy20 was set up in loving memory of Ted Newton 1999 – 2010

Teddy Rocks Festival started with a small gig in 2011 to raise money for Teddy20, a children's cancer charity founded by Tom Newton and his family after he lost his 10 year old brother Ted to a very rare bone cancer.

The gig was put on by Tom's friends and family in the restaurant of The Greyhound pub in Blandford and raised £400. This was used to fund the very first Teddy Rocks event at The Corn Exchange in 2012, which raised £2,500.

By 2013, Teddy Rocks had grown and needed more space, so they moved back to The Greyhound pub, raising £6,500 and £15,000 in 2014. In 2015, Teddy Rocks almost doubled this, raising an amazing £24,000.

In 2016 the festival moved to a new site with a bigger capacity and the total raised was a staggering £42,800!

In 2017 the festival moved again to a site large enough to facilitate car parking and camping alongside 4 stages and raised an immense £76,000.

The festival has found it's home at Charisworth Farm and will be back again in 2018 in the hope of raising even more to help fight children's cancer

The charity is in the process of becoming incorporated hence setting this up as a crowdfunding page rather than sponsorship.
