Guildford-based charity The halow Project celebrated its 10th birthday with a celebration party at Gosden House School near Bramley.

The birthday cake is lit.

More than 200 people attended the fun family picnic on September 4, where friends of halow had a chance to come together and celebrate the charity’s achievements throughout the years.

The entertainment started with live music from halow music group facilitator, Anthea Needs, and her husband Andy Prince.

halow’s social activities team, Jason and Aisha, organised garden games throughout the day, including family favourite the tug of war.

Oh Snap UK was on board to provide a fun photo booth for birthday celebration selfies, as well as festival face painting by Cathy which went down a treat with halow young people. Guests enjoyed trying Moooh Ice Cream’s unique flavours such as sea salted caramel and honeycomb crunch.

The event had a halow memory tree and future tree on display, inviting guests to write their favourite halow memory as well as their wish for the future and attach to the trees.

There was an information stand about halow’s history and the services it provides, where guests had the chance to enter the raffle to win tickets to Guildford Book Festival’s Evening with Damon Hill and a signed copy of his new book, Watching the Wheels.

The halow music group performs at the birthday celebrations.

The halow’s music group got together to perform the song they had a written, Dance with Me. Following this the cake was lit and all attendees sang Happy Birthday.

Ukejam performed to finish off the event. The band involved halow young people in their performance, inviting them to play the ukelele. halow mascot Hector the Bear made an appearance, making his musical debut with Ukejam. The halow Project would like to thank all who made this event possible.
