Keith's story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm Keith Brown. I've been fundraising for St Michaels hospice for approximately 14 years now. As of January 2025, I have raised £78,754.97.

These funds have been raised through charity fishing days with the help of my friends, members of Stacey's fishing club and Tadley angling.

I've have also been decorating my house at Christmas in Brackley Way spreading joy to the community and to raise money.

I have a Facebook page “Keith Brown's Christmas Baubles” to document the progress of my display each year for people to follow and for those not able to visit, to see the display. I have 1.2k of followers, how great it would be to make 2k this year so please spread the word.

In 2024 I raised a staggering £ 11,181.38 going directly to the Hospice, thanks to the extra support from Butlers Carpentry Ltd (Tadley), Excalibur Scaffolding Ltd (Basingstoke) and Tomato Energy (Basingstoke).

With such an amazing amount being raised last year, I gave this year’s show a lot of thought to bring people back., I’m not sure if I could possible top the 2024 show, but me being me and for such a great cause, I have had a go.

I am hoping that the 2025 show is even more special, to be able to exceed last year’s fund-raising amount.

Every year we donate every single penny to St Michael’s Hospice, to help with their continued high-quality support for families and patients needing end of life and palliative care.

The hospice is a truly deserving because that serves our community when we need it most.

Please stop by from 2nd December and enjoy the show. The shows run at 4.30pm 6.00pm & 7.30.pm every evening until 31st December, 2025. While you’re there please be kind enough to donate or use our just giving page.

You’ll find us at 55 Brackley Way, Basingstoke, RG22 6LL. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.

Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. I look forward to see u all in December.
