We're looking for people to organise a Maggie’s Pudding Club and raise money for Maggie’s at the same time. You could do this in any way you want… perhaps you'll approach a local restaurant and get them to donate some delicious puddings and then charge your friends to come along and taste them. Or maybe you'll hold a pudding competition, charging people to enter their pudding with the winner receiving a fabulous prize?
To find out more go to the Pudding Club page of our site. You can also join our Maggie’s Pudding Club facebook group. Or contact Denise Heron for more information on 0191 5438036 or email denise@maggiescentres.org.A HUGE thank you from Maggie's!
To everyone who has organised an event or sent in a donation. Your enthusiasm and support are very appreciated to help us raise the money that is vital to build our centre. See our updated list of donors on the Chronicle Website.
