  • Sharon and Hazel's Rock Solid Race

    Headway Cambridgeshire's Peterborough hub service, based at Sue Ryder's Thorpe Hall, is looking to expand and incorporate a gym to aid rehabilitation after brain injury. Rehabilitation Worker Sharon and her cousin Hazel decided to help Headway Cambridgeshire achieve this goal by setting themselves a really grueling fundraising challenge.

    The transformation of an abandoned acre of the grounds at Thorpe Hall has been marked with the official opening of the Hospice’s new kitchen garden on 16 September 2015. Three months after work began, the patch of weed-strewn land is unrecognisable thanks to hundreds of hours of effort by volunteers under the leadership of a dedicated team from British Sugar.

  • The Big Dig – for Headway Cambridgeshire & Thorpe Hall Hospice

    We need your help to transform an abandoned area at Headway Cambridgeshire’s new hub in Peterborough (Sue Ryder’s Thorpe Hall Hospice) into a sustainable kitchen garden. The north west corner of the gardens was, around a century ago, the mansion house’s kitchen garden. More recently it was home to a volunteer-led garden centre. For the last 15 years it has lain fallow and is home to nothing more than weeds and rabbits. Now the area has become the focus of a vision to create a kitchen g... Read more...
