Community initiatives doing vital work in the pandemic to help vulnerable families and their children are to receive a cash boost from Rotary Club of Royston.
Both the Children’s Services Family Support Team
in the town and Make Lunch Royston will each receive a donation of £500 through the club’s trust fund.
Graeme Dargie, a Rotary member and leader of its Youth Activities team, said: “We are delighted to be able to help. We know that there are families going through particularly tough times at the moment and it’s part of the role of Rotary to help the local community wherever it can.”
A CHARITY has benefitted from the fundraising efforts of a Northern business. Cranstons has raised over £3,500 for Hospice at Home Carlisle and North Lakeland through their annual Christmas fundraising drive. A grand total of £3509 was raised from the sale of Christmas puddings and pigs in blankets, where the bakery donated 50p from each item sold to the Cumbrian charity. The butcher and maker was unable to host their annual Christmas shopping evenings and charity raffle due to the ongoing pandemic restrictions, so the company decided to extend their product donations so Hospice at Home did not lose out on key funding.
