Rose Queen

The Rose Queen is crowned during our Summer Fair and she spends the year, with her family, Retinue and their families, fundraising for her chosen charity or charities. This is achieved by running a series of events, which are excellent family socials.

Charlotte is our Rose Queen for 2019-2020. Her chosen charities are Alder Hey Children’s Hospital and Christ Church Community Centre. Charlotte’s first events were a family quiz held in January, a Beetle Drive held on Saturday 7th September and a Christmas coffee morning on Saturday, November 30th.

Rose Queen Bingo

A huge thank you to everyone who played virtual Rose Queen Bingo recently – it was really fun! Thanks to the generous support of both players and members of the congregation we have raised £400 for the Rose Queen charities – Christ Church Community Centre and Alder Hey Children’s Charity.

Thank you once again & stay safe,

Charlotte
