CHARITIES SUPPORTED BY THIS YEAR’S OLD TOWN BEER & CIDER FESTIVAL
As well as the Old Town Beer and Cider Festival being Christ Church’s biggest fundraiser of the year, which provides essential funds so that we can continue to provide valuable services to the local community, we also like to share the love and support two other local charities every year.

This year, we are supporting the following two local charities: The Kelly Foundation and The Prospect Hospice
THE KELLEY FOUNDATION SWINDON
We are proud to announce that The Kelly Foundation is one of the chosen charities to benefit from this year’s Beer Festival fundraising efforts.
Dedicated to improving mental health in Swindon, The Kelly Foundation works tirelessly to provide holistic, personalised support to those facing anxiety, depression, and life stressors.
With an ambition to become a go-to mental health hub in every part of Swindon, the charity offers one-to-one emotional support, a welcoming community café, and practical assistance in areas like housing, employment, and financial difficulties. By addressing the root causes of mental health struggles, they help individuals regain stability and hope.
Why Your Support Matters
Mental health challenges can affect anyone, yet access to help remains limited. The Kelly Foundation bridges this gap by offering free, long-term support—without long waiting lists or the need to navigate multiple agencies. Entirely funded by donations, the charity relies on fundraising efforts like ours to continue its vital work.
By raising money at the Beer Festival, we aim to help The Kelly Foundation extend its reach, reduce waiting lists, and provide life-changing support to more people in need and contribute to a stronger, more resilient community.
Join us in making a difference—support The Kelly Foundation at this year’s Beer Festival!

THE PROSPECT HOSPICE
We are also delighted to support Prospect Hospice as one of our chosen charities to benefit from this year’s Beer Festival.
Since 1980, Prospect Hospice has provided dedicated end-of-life care for people across north east Wiltshire and parts of Gloucestershire, ensuring that those facing life-limiting illnesses receive compassionate, personalised support—completely free of charge.
With a team of nurses, doctors, and therapists, Prospect Hospice offers care at its facility in Wroughton, in people’s own homes, and in care homes. They also provide essential support for families and carers, helping them navigate incredibly difficult times. Beyond direct care, the hospice works to raise awareness about end-of-life care in the community, breaking down barriers to ensure that anyone who needs support can access it.
Why Your Support Matters
Providing this level of care costs several million pounds each year, with only a quarter of funding coming from the NHS. The hospice relies heavily on donations from the local community to continue its vital work. By supporting Prospect Hospice at the Beer Festival, we can help ensure that more people receive the comfort, dignity, and care they deserve in their final days.
By raising money at the Beer Festival, we aim to help Prospect Hospice be there for those who need it most. Join us in raising a glass, and raising fund for this incredible charity.
Support Prospect Hospice at this year’s Beer Festival!
