Hopetoun House event launches Wondrous charity partnership

Maggie’s is celebrating 25 years of providing expert support to people with cancer and their friends and family, and Wondrous Woods is inviting centre visitors at Maggie’s to the lighting extravaganza to help raise vital funds.

The lighting trail, which runs from October 21 to November 14, will illuminate Hopetoun House and light up a magical woodland journey through its grounds. This year visitors will help to pay tribute to Maggie’s vital work with the chance to donate to the charity.

To celebrate the organisation's 25th anniversary, on November 4 a Maggie’s logo will appear illuminated against the House.

Wondrous Woods is also offering discounted tickets to 250 Maggie’s newsletter readers and running a social media competition to win family tickets for the event.

Geoff Crow, director of 21CC Group says: “Maggie’s do a truly amazing job providing support centres and information for people who are coping with a terrible change in their lives.

"And the fantastic thing is that their services are absolutely free. But they constantly need funding to provide these and we’re hoping that people who come along to Wondrous Woods will not only have a wonderful experience but also take the opportunity to combine that with supporting this inspirational charity.

“We are thrilled to be associated with Maggie’s and hope to do them proud in their silver anniversary year.”
