Histon Manor is set to kick-start a new year of fundraising with a series of events open to the local community, starting with the ever-popular Snowdrop Open Day.
Since 2018, Histon Manor has raised over £15,000 for local causes through community charity events and fundraising initiatives such as valuation days, village Dahlia shows, and tea and garden parties.
This year, owner Katherine Mann has decided to focus fundraising efforts on a single charity, Break – a charity that works across East Anglia to make life better for children and young people growing up in care and those with complex needs – to ensure “a more focused and impactful contribution”.
Snowdrop Open Day on Saturday 8 February offers a chance to enjoy the first signs of spring with snowdrops throughout the Manor’s grounds. Other community fundraising events throughout the year will include the Daffodil Open Day on 22 March – a chance to see a spectacular display of daffodils as over 1,500 bulbs have been planted annually for the past four years – and the Village Dahlia Show in September, celebrating the best dahlia displays from local growers with village stalls and games.
In addition to its own fundraising efforts, the Manor also hosts events for local charities such as HI Friends, and plays a part in Histon and Impington Open Gardens.
Village backing
Katherine Mann of Histon Manor said: “We’re excited about the year ahead. Histon Manor has set a minimum fundraising target of £5,000 for Break in 2025. We hope our events will help raise awareness for the incredible work that Break does, and we encourage everyone to come and join us in supporting this wonderful cause. The community’s participation in our events and donations will directly contribute to helping vulnerable children and young people.
“We are also delighted that Carter Jonas has stepped forward to be our sponsor for our charity events this year and 100% of their donation will go directly to Break. We are extremely grateful for their support”.
