Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Cygnet Maple House is a 16 bed Mental Health hospital based in East Bridgford in Nottinghamsire, specialising in the rehabilitation of women with personality disorders.

Our staff and patients really want to give something back to society. Each year we pick a charity and we fundraise for that charity for the whole year in order to raise as much money as possible. This year we have chosen the homelessness charity, The Friary in Nottinghamshire.

We have chosen this charity as it is close to home and we feel passionate about people who are living on the streets and who struggle day to day. This is also a smaller charity that will really benefit from our efforts. This has been our aim throughout, so that we can really make a big impact and not just be a drop in the ocean for a bigger charity.

This page will be updated each time we plan a new event throughout the year. You are welcome to donate to this page at any point.

All of your donations are massively appreciated and will help us get to our first hurdle of at least £1000. We are aiming by the end of the year to beat our current total of £2068 from last year's charity 4 Louis.

Our first event of the year was a fancy dress walk around Gedling Country park on Friday 27th February. This was a lot of fun despite the weather and at time of writing our total was £265.

We have carried out some car boot sales this year and we have sold loads of our old goodies. We also did a bake sale. Our patients love engaging with the public and telling them who we are raising money for. They are also very enthusiastic to try and sell lots.

On Friday 28th August we are carrying out a sleep out in the grounds of Maple House. This will hopefully be warmer than last year.

Thank you so much for your support.
