Charity raffle to win bottle of gin memorabilia raises over £200 for mental health charity
A raffle to win a bottle of Aviation gin has raised over £260 in aid of Wrexham mental health and wellbeing charity.
The bottle was kindly donated by The Saith Seren Welsh Centre after they had a special delivery of three cases of Aviation gin from Ryan Reynolds, just days after the Deadpool film star and his fellow actor Rob McElhenny were allowed to take ownership of Wrexham AFC.
The gin cases were accompanied by a cryptic note from the man himself that reads: “To the folks at Saith Seren: Some for you and some for me. Hopefully see you soon – Ryan Reynolds.”
