About our chosen charity: Cornwall Hospice Care

Cornwall Hospice Care Caring for our community

Mount Edgcumbe Hospice

St. Julia’s Hospice

Cornwall Hospice Care is a leading independent Cornish charity (registered charity number 1113140), providing special care free of charge, to patients with life limiting illnesses aged 18 and over at two Cornwall based hospices - Mount Edgcumbe Hospice in St Austell and St Julia’s Hospice in Hayle.

The nursing teams care for people with a range of illnesses from cancer to heart and lung disease and Motor Neurone disease.

The generosity of the public is vital so the care for people across Cornwall is maintained at no charge to them. Every penny counts and every penny is spent supporting the adult hospices in Cornwall, for Cornwall.

www.bowgie.com

E ve r e s c a m p -t ba s e 2013 It costs £8.4 million to run the charity and with a very small grant from the NHS, it means a staggering £7.5 million has to be raised every year.

#BowgieAleFest

The Bowgie are proud supporters of Cornwall Hospice Care, with Owner/ Manager, Sally Pickles, not only fundraising with various pub events, but also her own, personal expeditions which have included treks to Everest Base Camp, Mount Kilimanjaro and in 2016, a Sahara Desert Trek.

Our Ale and Cider Festival is now in its third year and we welcome you to a four day extravaganza of live music, ale and cider tasting, pasties, fun and games. Donations from all beer and cider consumed over the event, sales of Ale Festival merchandise, games and musician/ band fees will all be donated to Cornwall Hospice Care so please show your support as every penny makes a difference!

If you’re keen to stay involved after the weekend, make sure Friday 25th September is in your diary because it’s Friday Night Revisited at The Bowgie, on Saturday 12th

December it’s time to get glam for James Bond Night and on New Year’s Eve, we’re partying with Not the Beatles. These events are not only great fun, but help fundraise even further for Cornwall Hospice Care.

We want to thank our generous customers for their continued support... you’re all awesome.
