We will be doing this as a charity event, raising money for Response. A Oxfordshire mental health charity, who not only support mental health in the usual way but also fund nurses and staff at the well known mental health hospitals in Oxford of which these services were used by our father in later years of life having been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Without the fundraising to support nurses in these services, they would be understaffed and the patients would not be able to receive the levels of care these hospitals offer.
Charities pay a small fee for our service. Learn more about fees
