Champneys are proud sponsors of the Sue Ryder Dragon Boat Race and a team of staff and members from our Henlow Resort will be joining this event and would really appreciate your support.

The Palliative Care Hub at Sue Ryder's St Johns Hospice provided invaluable care and support to our late Owner, Dorothy Purdew OBE, so we are sponsoring this event to give back to a wonderful charity.

This is the official team fundraising page for the Sue Ryder Bedford Dragon Boat race, taking place at the Bedford River Festival on 18th July 2026. We hope you have a fantastic day of racing and raising funds for Sue Ryder.

If you need any materials, advice or tips with your fundraising or would like to enter a team, please contact stjohns.events@sueryder.org.

Sue Ryder is here to make sure everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can access the support they need. There is no one size fits all when it comes to how we cope and the help we need, but with Sue Ryder's support, no one has to face dying or grief alone. They are there when it matters.
