A Heartfelt Thank You for Supporting North London Hospice Fundraising

We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone for your incredible support of the North London Hospice fundraising efforts. Lucy Tobin, who organised the auction in memory of her father Philip, initially aimed to raise £3,000. However, the auction closed with an astonishing total of over £15,400!

Below this update, you’ll find Lucy’s heartfelt thank-you note.

We are immensely proud to have made our small contribution to such a remarkable achievement! I was truly amazed to discover the competitive bidding for gift hamper, and find it that it surpassed its value during the auction! It was fantastic to deliver the hamper to the winning bidder, and we hope they truly enjoy it. Additionally, we included a bonus hamper—something we occasionally do—to spread even more joy and brighten someone’s day!

If you participated and weren't successful on your bid or curious, you can still treat yourself to carefully curated luxury foodie hampers, packed with premium artisan treats, perfect for food lovers. Filled with delicious high quality goodies they make an ideal gift or a well-deserved treat for yourself. 

If you’d like to continue supporting the hospice, they are currently seeking volunteers for a variety of roles. Lucy would be more than happy to connect you with a current volunteer for further information.

Just a note to say thank you.

It was my kids — who love and miss their grandpa Philip so much — who first came up with the idea of raising money for North London Hospice in his memory.

At a cake sale last summer, we raised just over £1,000. Then we thought, if we asked others to help, could we raise even more?

We turned to the kindness of colleagues and the generosity of entrepreneurs I’ve met through work — and what happened next was incredible.

Small businesses donated big vouchers and gifts. People in large corporations manoeuvred through red tape to offer flights, signed tops, meals, clothes, and time. Three of the most popular bids were to spend time with extraordinary people.

We hoped we might raise £3000. Over the weekend, our auction closed, having raised more than £15,400 for North London Hospice.

Whether you donated, bid, bought, or spread the word - thank you.

Dad was so kind and generous; we are proud that in his name, this money will help other families when they need it most.

Thank you.
