We wanted to share the story behind our Bingo Night, Hog Roast and Raffle on Saturday 20th June (full details available on our page)
As many of you know, The Millpond is proudly supporting the British Heart Foundation throughout the 2026 season. This event is separate from that, and is something we are doing to help our friends Neil and Christina Brown, who are raising money for St Michael’s Hospice Hereford.
Neil and Christina have decided to take part in The Great Wall of China Trek in October 2026 on behalf of St Michael’s Hospice. The trek will begin in Gubeikou, travel through Jinshanling and finish in Simatai, covering many different sections of the wall.
It will be a serious challenge, both mentally and physically. They will be walking for around 26 to 30 hours in total, across difficult terrain, including less visited sections of the wall where parts have almost completely worn away. It is not going to be easy, but they are determined to take on the challenge and raise as much as they can for St Michael’s Hospice.
This is a cause very close to their hearts. St Michael’s Hospice plays such an important role in our local community and has supported so many people across Hereford and the surrounding areas, including people close to Neil and Christina.
The hospice needs around £14,000 every day to cover its running costs, with much of that funding coming from the local community through donations, fundraising and support.
Neil and Christina have lots of fundraising events planned, and we are really pleased to be able to help them here at The Millpond. Every ticket bought, prize donated, raffle ticket purchased and bit of support given will help them towards their goal.
Please do come along on Saturday 20th June for what we hope will be a brilliant evening of good food, bingo, raffle prizes and great company, all while supporting a very worthwhile cause.
The hog roast will start at around 5:30pm, with pork rolls and a bowl of strawberries and cream available for £7.50.
Bingo and the raffle will start shortly after, with fantastic prizes to be won. Cash is preferred on the night, so please bring some along if you can.
A huge thank you to all the businesses who have supported this event so far, and to everyone who comes along, donates, shares the event or helps in any way.
Good food, great prizes, great company and a great cause.
