Lincoln fundraiser Iain Maynard will raise money for a mental health charity with a Lumberjack Party in memory of his friend James Walker, who recently took his own life.
The Lumberjack Party started six years ago to raise awareness for cystic fibrosis which Iain’s children, Halle-Rose and Roman, were both diagnosed with at birth. It has raised thousands of pounds for good causes over the years.
This year’s event will take place at Home nightclub on Friday, December 27, raising money for Mind in James’ memory as this is a cause close to Iain’s heart.
Tickets for the fundraising party cost £5 (plus booking fee), with other ticket options also available. It’s free entry to anybody wearing a lumberjack shirt and anyone who purchases a 50% off drinks wristband – click here to buy tickets.

With more people struggling with mental health issues Iain wants to raise awareness on the issue and make this year the best Lumberjack Party yet.
