What’s Happening
Daisy Trust Fair
There’s a new location for the annual Daisy Trust Fair this year which takes place on Monday 7 (9am - 5pm) in the heart of Parsons Green! Come along to St Dionis Church and the adjacent CAS Halls, shop from a variety of stallholders (fashion, accessories, homeware, food / drink bands), enjoy home baked goodies and coffee from Bridge Baker and in turn support organisations and people in need within the Hammersmith and Fulham community; the 112th most deprived out of 317 Local Authority Districts in England.
In the last six months the Daisy Trust has given over £50,000 to 26 beneficiaries and this event will continue that support as 10% of what’s spent at the Fair goes directly to those in need in our borough; thanks to the kind donations made by all Fair stallholders.
Beneficiaries include: H&F Foodbank, Fulham Reach Boat Club, Bishop Creighton House, All Saints Church Fulham, Age UK H&F and Ray’s Playhouse. Jackie Lee, The Daisy Trust Chairman told Urban Village LDN “The Daisy Trust Fair is such a favourite shopping event for locals and our supporters. We are excited to host this year’s Fair at St Dionis and CAS Halls. There will be a fabulous selection of stallholders joining us and we look forward to seeing some familiar and new faces”. Tickets cost £9 online (or £10 on the door) book / find our more on the link below.
Fulham Social Hub Networking Event
It was the most gloriously sunny evening for the second Fulham Social Hub networking event held at the Parsons Green Club last month. Local residents, businesses, charitable organisations and members of the Parsons Green Club and Fulham Social Hub gathered to reconnect after the summer break. Guests shopped, networked, meet local businesses and FSH members showcasing their products and services including: The Reverend Hubert, Allison Rodger Designs, WagWorks, Thermomix, Natural Paths Nutrition and Pearls of the Orient and enjoyed food kindly provided by Annab Lebanese Brasserie and Bridge Baker.
Fulham Social Hub co-founders Zara and Melinda updated everyone on the hub’s progress, the Directory, kindly sponsored by Carter Jonas Fulham, introduced the “Fulham Chronicles” podcast sponsor Bobby Gray, Founder of Archie Pango and announced the upcoming launch of the Fulhamite residents membership which will offer discounts and offers from SW6 businesses and services; both business and resident memberships will donate 10% to Friends of Bishops Park which will be awarded in April 25. If you couldn’t make this event, find and follow Fulham Social Hub on Eventbrite to stay tuned for the next date, follow them on Instagram or get in touch at hello@fulhamsocialhub.co.uk
