And meaningful it certainly is. Little Harbour provides specialist care and support to children with life-limiting conditions and their families. Its aim, making the most of short and precious lives, says everything you need to know about the extraordinary work that happens there. For families navigating some of life's hardest moments, Little Harbour offers far more than medical care. It is a warm, comfortable, family-centred space where siblings can be siblings, parents can breathe, and children can simply be children. The emotional support offered to families, before, during and after, is by all accounts second to none. But providing that level of care, day in and day out, comes at an enormous annual cost, and it is donations and community fundraising that make so much of it possible.

On the day of the fete, no booking is needed. Simply turn up, buy a cream tea, have a go on the stalls and enjoy the sunshine (fingers firmly crossed). If you can only pop by for a few minutes, there will be donation buckets and phone payment options at the gate, so no one need leave without contributing something. Look out for volunteers in their official Fun'raisers t-shirts, who will be happy to answer any questions. You can also find out more about the wider work of Children's Hospice South West at the Children’s Hospice South West website.

The Fowey Fun'raisers Fete is free to attend, with all money raised going directly to Little Harbour. Whether you are a Fowey regular or just passing through on the Bank Holiday, this is the sort of event that will leave you feeling glad you came. Good fun, good food, and the knowledge that you have helped make a difference to children and families who need it most.
