ANNUAL CHRISTMAS BAZAAR SHOPPING EXTRAVAGANZA CAWC International invites all to a fabulous day out to get a head start on Christmas shopping at its annual Bazaar Sunday, on 13th November 2022 at the Crowne Plaza, Gerrards Cross

On Sunday, 13th November, CAWC International will be holding their annual Charity Christmas Bazaar at the Crowne Plaza in Gerrards Cross. Last year they raised over £25,000 at this event. All of the money raised will go to the Motor Neurone Disease Breathing Support Project, delivered by the Palliative Care Service based at Florence Nightingale Hospice, part of Buckinghamshire NHS Trust. The project has the backing of the Chiltern Branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association. Sue Eddy, a physiotherapist involved with the MND Breathing Support Project, attended the bazaar and said: ‘The CAWC Christmas Bazaar was absolutely amazing! Beautiful, beautiful stalls and fabulous food and drink. Every bit of the funds raised will go to expanding and deepening the support we’re able to give MND sufferers and their loved ones’.

Typically the Bazaar comprises over 60 artisan vendors selling a wide range of unique items making wonderful Christmas presents for your nearest and dearest. In addition, members curate over 350 themed festive hampers which are ideal gifts for family members, teachers, hostess gifts and that oh so difficult to buy for loved one! There will be a Texas style café selling homemade chilli, snacks and soft drinks. The homemade theme is continued with the Bake Sale stall. Delicious home baked delicacies prepared by their members will also be on sale. There will be not one but two fantastic raffles and a silent auction. An event not to be missed!

Originally founded in 1987, the club has raised over £350,000 for various charities in the Chilterns area, including: • Community First Responders • Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s

Charity • Epilepsy Society • The Pepper Foundation • Horizon Sports Club • HESTIA • William’s Fund – Cancer Research for

Children • Medical Detection Dogs • Scannappeal
