Princes
Mead Shopping Centre is delighted to announce that a sum of
£7,500 has been raised since April 2006 through a variety of
initiatives all to benefit the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice.
The total was enhanced over the Christmas holidays when
members of the public were able to write messages “in memory
of loved ones” that were then placed on a Tree of Memories
until Christmas Eve. A
“Wishing Well”, donated by Farnham company Folly Patterns, has been
placed within Princes Mead Shopping Centre and raised additional
funds for the Hospice.

Pavilion’s team of five caretakers has
shown how you can turn muck into brass by raising £1,739.30

unwanted rubbish. Any metal items, such as old washing
machines, bikes or bed frames get separated and taken to
local scrap metal dealer, Deans Woods Export in Aldershot. |
