Digby’s charity partner, The Sussex Snowdrop Trust, has had a busy summer of fundraising… assisted by plenty of fine English fizz.

The trust was founded in 1993 by Kate Shaw, Diana Levantine and Frank Snell to help the families of sick children with nursing care, counselling support and financial aid post-hospital, and once the children are home. It is a unique and highly cherished foundation that has supported hundreds of families. We hope to play a small part by promoting Snowdrop’s campaigns and events, and selling their merchandise in our Tasting Room (we always look forward to the Christmas cards!) but this year, we’ve relished the chance to become more involved.

This past summer, the Snowdrop team has been run of its feet with events and so we were delighted to help, by adding a few English sparkles. And would you believe it, despite such an unlucky season of weather, we were afforded wonderful sunshine for all three of our special Snowdrop evenings

We joined Snowdrop at Arundel Castle with Hugh Bonneville onstage, at an arty countryside gallery opening, and at Arundel Lido for some spinning, swimming and meditation. A proper Sussex summer. Read all about it, below.
