As a group of friends who have been together through thick and thin, we wanted to celebrate coming out of lockdown on 4th July by having a socially distanced party. 

We have missed our get togethers hugely and although we won't be able to hug each other, we are looking forward to enjoying each other's company in the real world rather than the virtual.

We all have our reasons to be grateful to the NHS, so we will use this occasion to raise a bit of money by way of a thank you. 

Blue Skies Hospitals Fund has been raising money to enhance patient care for 25 years. As the charity for Blackpool Teaching Hospitals we support the best in patient care and medical research for the Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre area.
