This year’s CFOS-Sun Times Christmas Fund Broadcast – held amid the global COVID-19 pandemic – has raised a record tally of donations.
Ian Solecki, Bayshore Broadcasting’s director of operations, said just shy of $45,000 had been raised for the 81
st annual event as of Christmas Eve. All money raised will be evenly distributed to 22 local charities and organizations serving children, youth and seniors.
Letters to the Spalding Guardian editor â December 17
We need a âcan doâ council
I think we have to accept the High Street shopping is a thing of the past. Online and the Springfields shopping experience are things of the future.
Springfields has demonstrated that Spalding can attract visitors. I believe in excess of two million. Many of these visitors will arrive by coach and they will shop in the morning in smart new shops offering brands they recognise, lunch, the gardens and then back on the coaches for the trip back home and cup of tea on the way.
What does Spalding offer? But it could do with imagination. Regeneration is a form of incremental change which rarely delivers value for money. So Spalding needs to make a steep change and deliver something creative which will entice some of the Springfield visitors to spend time in the town.
Spalding shoppers will be safer thanks to generous installation of defibrillator by building society
Shoppers will be safe when visiting Spalding town centre thanks to the installation of a new defibrillator.
Nationwide Building Society has given something back to the town by raising money to place a defibrillator at the front of the branch in Hall Place.
This is the latest in a series of the devices which have been placed in the town centre to support shoppers.
