Bury Beavers slip on bunny ears and pyjamas for local hospice charity

A total of 100 Bury St Edmund Beaver Scouts slipped on their fluffy bunny ears and pyjamas and took part in a sponsored walk around Nowton Park.

The Beavers raised a mighty £1,541 for St Nicholas Hospice Care, which looks after people living with caring, dying and bereavement.

Lucinda Wade, scout leader, Bury St Edmunds Beavers, said: “The hot weather and the England football team playing in the World Cup, did not stop the boys and girls from taking part in the fun walk for such a good cause.”

The Beavers were inspired by St Nicholas Hospice Care’s annual fundraising event, Girls Night Out, which sees thousands of ladies don bunny ears and pyjamas for a walk around Bury St Edmunds.

Jenny Smith, events manager, St Nicholas Hospice Care, said: “I would like to thank the Beavers for being such good sports and raising money for the Hospice. The money raised will help us provide services, for free, to people throughout West Suffolk and Thetford.

“Services such as our Nicky’s Way programme which provides bereavement support for children and young people.”
