A culmination of a years fundraising enabled a cheque for £6,800 to be handed over to The Sick Children's Trust at Eckersley House in Leeds. Including direct contributions, the overall total was £7,100.
Simon, Molly, Matthew and Derek attended the home today and were given guided tour. The house has 33 bedrooms with full facilities for short and longs stays and is maintained to an impeccable standard. It aims to support families who have children receiving critical care. The average length of stay is 12 nights. The home is almost always fully occupied.
Thanks to everyone who helped in any way to raise this fantastic amount. This has gone from Sky Dives over Lincolnshire, weekly domino cards, raffles, making cakes, growing vegatables, jars of home-made produce, stalls at the club door, diving with sharks and numerous other activities. Thank you to everyone for your sponsorship and support.
