We were delighted to support Dedham Therapy Farm by donating a raffle prize to their Boozy Bingo fundraising event on Friday 30th January.

Dedham Therapy Farm does incredible work, providing a calm, supportive environment for young people with additional needs — a place of serenity away from the everyday challenges of school and life.

Thanks to the generosity of everyone involved, an amazing £1,325 was raised on the night, helping to fund non-funded clients at the farm for a whole year. We’re proud to have played a small part in such a meaningful cause.

A huge well done to Palmer & Partners 500 club and the Dedham Therapy Farm team for organising a fantastic evening and for the vital work they do within our community 💛
