Group 3 Fundraiser Dinner

Since 1956, experienced HCPT volunteers have taken 1,000s of children and adults, with a variety of needs, on life changing pilgrimage holidays to the shrine of Lourdes in France. We are of all faiths and none. Thank you for your support.

Story

This Easter, I’ll be one of twelve volunteers travelling with HCPT Group 3 to take eight wonderful disabled children to France on holiday. This is my second year spending Easter week in this way - and I can't wait for April!

If you're visiting this page, it must mean you've come to A FLAT OUT FEAST - an HCPT Group 3 fundraising dinner at mine & Isa's. Thank you so much for joining us tonight! We hope you've had a delicious evening in delightful company.

I should've now been by with your bill for dinner as you will be donating that sum here. We would love it if you could tick the *gift aid* option as this adds a free-for-you extra 25% contribution from the government to any donation. As you can imagine - this can tot up to make a significant difference to our final fundraising pot.

Naturally if you feel moved to donate more than your bill, we would be extremely grateful - but this is by no means expected.

On average, life can be 3 times more expensive when raising a disabled child. To take a child away with us on holiday costs £1,500 - so we thank you for your donation tonight which helps us make this respite possible.

Here’s an idea of what your generosity could support on this trip:

£1,500 would cover the full cost of taking a disabled child away on holiday -- £53 takes a child on a day trip into the mountains of Gavarnie -- £18 covers a child’s trip to the petting zoo -- £10 buys a child a pizza on our big night on the town -- £2 brightens a child’s day with an ice cream

If you'd like to find out more about HCPT Group 3 after this evening, just drop me a line! You can read more on their website here: https://www.hcptgroup3.org/ and see family testimonies and news while we’re out in Lourdes on Facebook.

Thank you for eating at our table tonight,
