On the 10th of September, we held our first Sticks Together charity event, this year raising money for Oxford Hospitals Charity and the total has now been confirmed!

Exceeding all expectations, this is a massive thank you to everyone who took part and special thanks to Witney, Oxford Hawks and Bicester Hockey Clubs who provided the opposition for the four charity games played. We were also supported by many local and hockey-based organisations who provided incredible raffle prizes. Thanks you all!

Despite a damp day, we are delighted to have raised £3642.00 through our match fees, raffle, silent auction of signed GB items, bake sale and general donations. This money will go to good use by Oxford Hospitals Charity through the Ashfield Fund.

The Butterfly Suite is based at the John Radcliffe, Maternity Level 7 and helps to care for women and their families when they have lost a baby after 12 weeks of pregnancy or shortly after giving birth. The Ashfield Fund helps to support the bereavement suites, fund specialist counseling for families, and provide items such as cooling cots and hand and feet castings, which enable parents to spend a little more time with their baby and create lasting and tangible memories.

Thank you so much to everyone involved and our hockey family at Abingdon for being incredibly supportive.

Look what you achieved!
