The Old Cross Tavern trading under landlord Bev and landlady Mary was sold due to our retirement. Since 7th November 2023, the Tavern has traded under new management.
Even though we’re no longer running the Tavern, Bev & Mary that is, we would still like to share this update about charity fundraising for the Breast Cancer Now Charity until we stopped trading.
We’d also like to say a very special thank you to our customers, suppliers and local businesses for their generous support and sponsorship of the fundraising activities.
Here’s the back story ….
The Breast Cancer Now Charity (focused on research) became the Tavern’s nominated charity in April 2014 and started with the “Something for Everyone” Charity Auction. Fundraising continued over the years with a variety of other activities, collection boxes, raffles, pub quizzes, beer festivals and customer donations.
The Old Cross Tavern matched all fundraising amounts.
Here’s a summary including the latest donation sent to Breast Cancer Now up to the point when we retired.
Donation of funds collected from September 2021 to 5 November 2023 was £818.00 (made up of public donations £409.00 matched by the Tavern £409.00)
The Tally of all Donations/funds raised from April 2014 to 5 November 2023 is £14,053.00
The latest donation was sent to the Breast Cancer Now Charity and certificates are forthcoming, which will be posted here when they arrive.
