DESPITE such a difficult year for Macmillan, among many other charities, the Ilkley Fundraising Committee has managed to raise over £9,000 that will go towards Macmillan projects in the local area. Chris Martinez, who heads the group, thanked the people of Ilkley and our area who have continued to donate generously despite there being no opportunity for fundraising events this year. The only event that was able to take place was the spring virtual fashion show which started the fundraising season. The Ilkley Macmillan Virtual Fashion Show 2020 featured charity supporters in their own gardens and patios modelling daywear/smart casual, bridal scene and after lockdown party wear.
