As Loungers we love nothing better than getting involved with our local community and every year we spend a few months fundraising for a charity of our choice during #loungeaid

This year Vivo Lounge have chosen to support the fabulous Dorset based charity Ducks And Drakes Cancer Trust (Charity Commission No: 1147024)

The Trust was founded in 2012 by Andrew Drake and his family following the bowel cancer diagnosis of Andrew, aged 24.

The Trust was founded to:

🦆Create awareness of bowel cancer in young people, aged 18 to 30 in Dorset and the UK. Every 30minutes someone dies from bowel Cancer in the UK.

🦆To support bowel cancer patients and their families through the provision of specialist equipment and financial aid

🦆To fund specialist nurses in Dorset County Hospital, specifically in the Colorectal Department.

We will be holding a variety of events throughout April and May to help raise funds towards our £1000 target. We are planning on raising money by:

🌟Weekly donations from our Monday Night Quiz teams

🌟Bake Sale

🌟Team challenges

🌟Sponsored walk from Nautico Lounge, Weymouth to Circo Lounge, Westbourne.

🌟A night of dinner and entertainment in Vivo Lounge

Keep an eye out on our Facebook and twitter pages and inside the lounge for specific information about each of our events and how you can help this amazing charity.

Anything you can give in either time and support at any of our events or by donating to our just giving page is greatly appreciated.
