A Festive Cruise Raises Funds

On Sunday 8th December 2024, Wooden Spoon supporters gathered for a magical and festive fundraising event on the River Thames. Setting off from Hobbs of Henley’s Boat Yard in Henley-on-Thames, guests enjoyed an unforgettable cruise up and down the Thames, despite the wet and windy weather outside.

Entertainment and Festive Fun

The event brought together a lively group of over fifty guests, many of whom are loyal Wooden Spoon supporters. Guests were treated to a festive three-course lunch and incredible entertainment from a talented singer crew performing hits from Michael Bublé, Neil Diamond, and more. The atmosphere was electric, with attendees dancing and celebrating well into the afternoon.

A Longstanding Tradition

This annual event, which has been running for over thirty years, continues to be a highlight in the Wooden Spoon calendar, bringing the community together for a cause that truly matters.

Raising Funds for Children in Need

The day was a resounding success, raising nearly £1,000 to support future Wooden Spoon children’s projects. The generosity and enthusiasm of everyone involved highlighted the enduring power of community spirit and giving.

Thank You for Your Support
