Elvis Tribute charity fundraiser

We are building up to our annual fundraiser on the 1st December.  It promises to be a great night out with some excellent Elvis themed entertainment and we are just looking forward to the big day and seeing everyone.

We depend on the fundraisers to maintain the holiday homes and Emmanuel House.  In 2006 we purchased three holiday homes at Cragside caravan park in Weardale.  These we kitted out especially so cancer patients, the terminally ill and their families can go for respite care, completely free of charge.  We've had many people stay after being referred by Macmillan nurses over the years.  Unfortunately for some it is the last holiday they spend together but at least they have wonderful memories to cherish and look back on!

This is run alongside Emmanuel House, Gateshead's free holistic therapy and drop in centre.  A place for anyone to drop in and talk, share and relax.  




We always have a great laugh at our fundraisers and this time is no exception!  We have a fab Elvis tribute act booked to keep us entertained.  We have prize raffles, bingo and much more!  

So why not give us a ring and get your tickets too?  

Our event is held at Ravensdene Lodge in Lobley Hill on Friday 1st December 2017.  Doors open at 7.00pm.

Tickets are only £7.

They must be purchased in advance from myself.  Ring us on 0191 4609693.

Look forward to seeing you all.

A great night out to remember


We had an absolutely amazing night at our fundraiser on the 22nd September.  I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone for coming and giving so generously.  I'd also like to thank Miss Hollywood for keeping us all entertained and the Ravensdene Lodge for doing such a great job putting on our event.

It was a brilliant night and we had 127 guests of who commented that they all had a wonderful time and are looking forward to the next event.

Unfortunately Raymond could not make it due to ill health but my son Ryan came along for support and also manned the camera for the night.  He did a great job and was such a help.



Altogether we raised the fantastic sum of £1,351.00 which was totally overwhelming, I can’t express enough how grateful I am for everyone’s support not just from those who attended but also those who couldn’t make it on the night and still kindly made donations towards the evening.

The money raised will be going towards the running costs of the three Emmanuel House Holiday Homes will that we have purchased up in Weardale where cancer sufferers, the terminally ill and their families can go to for respite care completely free of charge.



Once again many cancer patients and their families have been away to our holiday homes this year and have all had the most marvellous time.

It was great to see so many familiar faces and catch up with everyone.  Miss Hollywood was a super star as always and had the crowd dancing and singing along.



I will be organising another event for a later date and will keep you all informed of the details. So thank you once again for your help and support over the years as I really do appreciate it.

God Bless and take care.
