We are delighted and grateful to Northern Energy who organised their annual charity golf day for the benefit of Lollipop on 10th June. They had a fantastic day and have donated a whopping £10,000! The amount raised through fund raising was rounded up to the amazing £10,000 figure with a generous donation given to Lollipop as part of their 90th anniversary celebration!

A huge thank you to everyone at Northern Energy for your amazing support!

Summer Fundraising! | June/July 2022

So Lollipop can continue to provide free activities to its members we need to concentrate on summer fundraisers in York during June and July and we need our supporter’s help!

Saturday 18th June we will be at St Crux serving food and refreshments all day with stalls outside the hall

Sunday 26th June is West Bank Park Fair 1-4pm

Sunday 3rd July is the Sleeper Market in New Earswick 10am – 2.30pm

Sunday 10th July we have a stall at the Dragon Boat Race 10am – 4pm

We need lots of volunteers to bake, staff stalls with Lollipop staff, transport stall items, help setting up and tidying away. All these fundraising events are family-friendly so you can help out for an hour or two whilst bringing the whole family along for some summer fun!
