🚨 The Raft Race Can’t Run—But We Can Still Raise! 💙

Sadly, due to exceptionally low water levels, we have had to cancel this Sunday’s Raft Race.

While cancelling was the only safe decision, it means St David's Hospice Care will miss out on vital funds that the event was expected to raise for local patients and their families.

The rafts may not be taking to the water, but we can still make a difference.

If you were planning to take part, attend the event or cheer from the riverbank, please consider donating what you can. Whether it’s £5, £10 or the cost of the refreshments you might have enjoyed on the day, every donation will help us recover some of the income lost through the cancellation.

💙 Donate here: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/monmouthraftrace2026

Together, we can continue providing vital care and support to people throughout our local communities. 💙

Our Raft Race has been cancelled due to low water levels, leaving St David’s Hospice Care facing a loss of vital fundraising income. Please help us keep hospice care afloat by donating what you can.
