We are delighted to report that our annual Christmas Bazaar was a huge success and we are grateful to all those who supported it. Our combination of new attractions and old favourites proved very popular and we made a grand total of £1,353. We have also received a further £5,120 from a successful grant application and further donations to our Coronation Year Appeal.This means we have now raised an incredible £25,911 and can announce that the work on lime washing the church walls will commence in the next few weeks. 

 

As you know, our theme for the Coronation Year was ‘By the Young for the Young ’ and includes supporting ‘Nicky’s Way,’ St Nicholas’ Hospice’s programme for bereaved children and young people. We received a donation in lieu of payment from those who did the Face Painting at our Bazaar. As a result, we have now raised £4,106, slightly exceeding our target of £4,025. This represents £100 for each of St Nicholas Hospice’s 40 years and £25 for Nicky’s Way’s 25th anniversary next month.  We are having a cheque presentation to ‘Nicky’s Way’ and we will provide a report in the next newsletter.

 

There is always more to do and if you would still like to donate, please visit:

The mathematicians amongst you will have worked out that having raised £25,911 and £4,106, our total stands at £30,017. 

 

£30,000 was very much an aspirational target for us and we are delighted to have reached it.
