Fundraising events

The charity’s supporter group in Birstall hosted a coffee morning in May that raised £230, a Strawberry Tea on a very hot Saturday in June raising £220, and on a soggy Saturday in July, making use of every available space including the garage, £450.50 was raised.

Spokeswoman Josephine Burgess said: “It was really pleasing that on the soggy Saturday, Adrienne Williams, Community Fundraising and Engagement Manager for Save the Children, the local Rector Rev Amanda Digman, and the local MP Edward Argar and his wife braved the weather to eat the strawberries, joining guests from far and wide.”
