Announcing Finley’s Touch as the Official Charity for the 2024 and 2025 Haywards Heath Arts Festivals

We are thrilled to announce that

Finley’s Touch has been selected as the official charity partner for the

Haywards Heath Arts Festival 2024 and 2025.

Finley’s Touch is a remarkable local charity dedicated to supporting children with cancer and their families. Founded in memory of the brave young soul, Finley Edward Relf, this Haywards Heath based organisation embodies resilience, compassion, and unwavering hope. Despite facing the challenges of childhood cancer, Finley battled his illness heroically, undergoing three stem cell transplants. Tragically, he could not be cured and passed away on December 6, 2021, at the tender age of 8.

Finley touched everyone he met, leaving an indelible mark on hearts. His legacy continues to inspire, and the charity has been set up in his name to support others going through similar situations. Finley’s Touch spreads joy, happiness, and hope to children during their most difficult moments. They recognise that cancer affects not only the child but also their entire family, providing essential support to parents, siblings, and caregivers. Moreover, they actively engage the local community, fostering unity and purpose.

Why Finley’s Touch?

Spreading Joy: Through creative programs, events, and emotional support, Finley’s Touch creates a sense of normalcy and happiness for young patients.
Family Support: Ensuring that no one faces this journey alone, they provide essential support to parents, siblings, and caregivers.
Community Engagement: Finley’s Touch encourages everyone to contribute to their cause, whether through fundraising events, awareness campaigns, or volunteering.

Sponsorship with the Haywards Heath Arts Festival is an excellent and very affordable way to get your name or business noticed around town to thousands of people and potential new customers.

Building on our reputation from last year’s first ever arts festival in Haywards Heath we are looking to improve on the diverse range of content from last year and our reach into the community. As well as having a lot of fun along the way we’ll also be raising much needed funds for our charity partner ‘Finley's Touch’ and their efforts to help the children suffering with cancer and their families .

You can also be part of this inclusive community event so if you’re able to assist please get in contact with the organising committee by emailing enquiries@haywardsheathartsfestival.co.uk

We are also on the lookout for volunteers to assist with tasks. These might be distributing leaflets, helping to curate at an exhibition or helping to collect charitable donations at our events. The list goes on. So if you have a few hours to spare and you’d like to be part of festival week please drop as line at the email address above.
