2007 Sponsorship

In 2007, the Ladies captain of The Henley Golf Club, Gail Henderson, chose the Face of Henley as their Charity to support throughout the year.

Various fundraising events were held and a total of £5,490 was donated in December 2007 to the Charity.

Mrs Henderson said, "We chose the Face of Henley to support during 2007 because it is a local charity that helps local people".

Jane Moss said, "A huge thank you to Gail Henderson and all the members at the Henley Golf Club. The amount of money raised is absolutely fabulous - more than we could ever dreamt of and it is going to help us help so many local people in Henley and its surrounding villages over the next 12 months."

Recent Event

The Face of Henley Charity enjoyed its best Christmas Fayre ever with just under £4,000 being raised for local individuals and causes.

Dozens of stallholders displayed their wares at the Henley Rugby Club in November 2007. On offer were a wide variety of gifts from suede coats to smoked fish and welly-warmers to beautiful jewellery.

Jane Moss, one of the organisers of the fair said "Without the continuing support of local people and businesses we would not be able to continue helping our local Henley Community. All the monies raised benefit worthy individuals and causes within Henley and its surrounding villages."

The Charity would like to thank Cooper Son and Caldecott for sponsoring the hire of the Rugby Club, Mary Worsdell of the Henley Rugby Club for all her assistance, Higgs Printing for the printing of the invitations, Hugh Legh of HDL Audio for his continuing support, Marlene Pearce of Gold Key Designs for the design work, Billy Pinchers for the supply of the tressle tables, the Henley Standard for their ongoing support and Cannelle Beaute for sponsoring the raffle prize of a 'Top to Toe' to the value of £120.00 which was won by Niamh Kendall from Kidmore End. Last but not least to all cake makers and our wonderful friends - Karen T-Y, Amanda, Karen B, Janey, Susan, Fiona, Anne, Kate, Sarah and Marlene who supported us throughout the day.
