We are looking forward to our second Jail and Bail fundraising challenge on Saturday, 26th September.
Managers from across the county have been nominated by their long-suffering colleagues for various (entirely fictitious) workplace crimes and will soon be locked up as punishment.
At 10am Saturday 26th September, Philip Serrell, John Bawden, Bill Cave, Chris Goodall and John Goodall will all be locked up in their spare rooms, potting sheds and even a shepherd’s hut tasked with fundraising for their freedom.
It’s not quite the cells we had planned for them but, in these socially distant times, their families assure us they’re going nowhere on Saturday until they’ve raised their bail money!
Look out for our posts this weekend and please give generously if you can. Every penny raised will help us be there for patients and their families when they’re most in need.
We must also thank our sixth ‘criminal’, Nick Baxter, who has already completed his jail time for St Richard’s and raised an incredible £960 to gain freedom!
It is hoped that each ‘criminal’ will pledge to raise £500 or more. All the money raised in bail will support St Richard’s as we continue to care for patients and their loved ones across Worcestershire.
