Over a number of years the Festival has raised money for worthy causes in the village, particularly to support the pre-school and toddlers groups, and the older members of the village.

Over the last couple of years, however, our main focus has been to raise sponsorship for Helen House.

Helen House is situated in the Cowley Road, Oxford, and was the first children's hospice in the world. It is funded entirely from charitable donations, and offers palliative care to children and young people with life-limiting illness, together with support to the whole family.

whilst the sponsorship of Batticaloa now means that Helen House is not our nominated charity, it does provides a fantastic facility, both for helping the child achieve the very best quality of life, and for supporting the family who have to cope at a time of suffering and stress.

On behalf of the Warborough Festival it is a privilege to have been associated with Helen House and to have made some small contribution to their fantastic work. We wish them every success in the future.
