The afternoon was not just about have a good time it was also to raise funds for the work The Old Moat does.
The Old Moat Garden Centre is not just a garden centre. They are part of Richmond Fellowship, a national mental health charity, and reinvest all their profits into supporting the recovery of local people living with mental ill health.
Their goal is to help them gain confidence, skills and qualifications working alongside the staff and volunteers in a safe, supportive environment that encourages them to overcome challenges and obstacles.
Their work impacts directly on about 150 people with mental ill health each year, but the ripple effect touches hundreds more as their families and friends gain peace of mind, waiting lists in doctors’ surgeries and hospitals are reduced, employers gain qualified confident staff, and the community is enriched by the increased participation of those whom we support.
The Old Moat would like to thank the following:
Judges
Nikki Brown and Surrey County Councillor and Epsom & Ewell Borough Councillor Bernie Muir,
Dog agility provider
Cathy Tse, Horton Dogs,
Master of Ceremonies
Paul Jackson, for his time, his MC skills and his music choices!

And last but most definitely not least: Their staff, volunteers and the people whom they support.
