Networking on a Thursday afternoon does not get better!

On Thursday 17th July, our very own Jacqui Offen hosted a beautiful garden party supporting  Pilgrims Hospices.   We are delighted to share that the event raised a fantastic final total of £716 !

What began as a small gathering turned into a truly heart-warming afternoon filled with generosity, laughter, and community spirit. The total raised was thanks to the kindness of Jacqueline’s wonderful networking connections, who not only donated generously but also contributed some fabulous raffle prizes that helped boost ticket sales on the day.

Raffle highlights included:

• A luxury hamper donated by On Call Carpets
• A bottle of Chapeldown Wine from Cascade Insurance Services
• Several brilliant prizes from the team at Injection Developments
• Some lovely wine donated by Endeavourcom, Neptune Bars & Furley Page

The cakes were a selection of delicious homemade cakes baked by the talented Vicky Cullen from Herne Bay & some generously donated cup cakes from Asda in Canterbury.

At J & J Systems UK Limited, we’re proud to support local charities like Pilgrims Hospices. Several friends of the business and their families have needed the care and compassion of Pilgrims in recent months, making this cause especially close to our hearts.

Looking ahead – Jacqui has already set the date for a repeat event in 2026! If you’d like to come along and join us for another lovely afternoon in aid of a great cause, be sure to drop Jacqueline a line to reserve your ticket when they go on sale next spring.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated, attended, or helped in any way. Your kindness truly made a difference.
