AC Motown at The Maltings Saturday 11th June 2016

Lisa’s fund, in association with the Maltings Ely, are pleased to announce a fundraising event for The Arthur Rank Hospice Charity. The AC Motown show consists of seven of the country’s most talented Motown performers who will be live on stage at the Maltings on Saturday 11 June.

“This is the first joint fundraising event involving the Maltings and I am looking forward to this very much”, said Robert Barnes who launched Lisa’s fund shortly after Lisa passed away in September 2010.

“My original aim of raising £100,000 for the hospice seems a distant memory, the target was reached in the summer of 2014, it was then I decided to continue Lisa’s fund. All the profit from this event will be targeted specifically towards the new hospice being built in the edge of Cambridge at Shelford Bottom, next to the park and ride. The new hospice will open this November and will be able to take double the number of inpatients with twenty four beds. Outpatients attending much needed clinics will also benefit having less waiting time and brand new state of the art facilities. The Hospice at Home team will also be taking extra patients, leading eventually to 1200 each year. All this comes at a eye watering price and we are at present £2.5m short, but please be assured the hospice will open on time.”
