Unlock Hope for Maggie’s!

We’re all working together to fundraise for a cause close to our hearts, Maggie’s.

On Friday, 29th November, six “Jailbirds” will be locked up for their outrageously silly crimes and thrown into the clink! Their only way out? Raising enough funds to cover their bail. They’re counting on your help to break free!

Detained at a top-secret location, they’ll need your support to secure their release, gather bail money, and make their daring escape.

A Lighthearted Event With a Life-Changing Purpose

For so many, Maggie's is a lifeline. These centres offer a haven of hope and a unique blend of practical and emotional support—all free of charge—for people at any stage of their cancer journey, as well as for their families and friends.

Maggie’s centres are places of resilience, helping people find the strength, resources, and community they need to face one of life’s greatest challenges. With over half the population likely to be affected by cancer at some point, the services Maggie’s provides have never been more essential.

The “inmates” are armed with nothing but their wit, tenacity and social media savvy. They’ll need your help to raise enough funds for bail!
