Hassocks Goes Gold 2026: the village went tropical 🍍
Hassocks Goes Gold spent September 2026 fundraising under a golden pineapple theme, with sun-drenched gold pineapples brightening up the village and raising money for the Children & Young People's Cancer Association (CCLG).
The campaign was set up in memory of Pearl, who died of a childhood cancer aged just ten. Before this year's campaign the PearlPower fund stood at a remarkable £163,000 and has helped fund a sixth research project, an inspiring legacy working towards kinder, more effective treatments for the childhood cancers with the poorest outcomes.
The month brought the sponsored trail of Giant Gold Bows, daily Facebook auctions, craft, face-painting and tombola stalls at the village markets, the poster drawing competition, and the Golden Gala finale on Friday 25 September. Our gig on Saturday 19 September was our bit, and thanks to you it added £1,158.72 to the pot. You can still donate on JustGiving.
