In 2023, St Paul’s Church Christmas Tree Festival raised a record-breaking £24,000 for their chosen charities, Bedford Hospital Charity & Friends and St Paul’s Church, Bedford.

In 2024, with your help, St Paul’s Church of Bedford will be supporting the Bedford Hospital Charity & Friends Children’s Cancer Services Appeal. Working with Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, their goal is to raise funds in order to refurbish two special dedicated cancer care side rooms on the children’s Riverbank Ward at South Wing. The appeal is also aiming to raise funds for a dedicated Cancer Care Nurse Specialist who will work alongside Bedford Hospital’s specialised paediatric doctors to deliver this care.

Tickets are available on the door, with general entry to the Festival for £3 and FREE for children under 16.
