Several days after receiving a certificate of appreciation at the Preston Branch event at the Toll Bar Community Cafe for raising £3,400 over the years for Save The Children, Pam is once more hard at work.
Pictured above is her craft table at the Goosnargh Flower Club which raised a further £106.50 for Save The Children.
Well Done Pam!
Thanks to all our supporters and to the lovely people at Toll Bar Cottage Community Meeting Room & Cafe for making our recent lunch event such an outstanding success.
During the event one of Preston Branch’s most loyal hard working volunteers, Pam Bracewell, was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation for raising £3,400 over the years with her knitted good creations
An entertaining day was had by all 30 of our guests and we raised £591 on the day for Save the Children, with £70 alone coming from the sale of Pam’s knitted goods
….. from the Gibbon Bridge Hotel and Restaurant featuring Barbara’s of Standish
On Wednesday, May 4th, Preston Save The Children Branch fundraising group held an Afternoon Tea and Fashion Show at Gibbon Bridge Hotel and Restaurant, Chipping with fashions courtesy of Barbara’s of Standish.
After a wet morning the sun came out, and after a delicious afternoon tea we were treated to an informal viewing of casual and formal fashions. The models walked round the tables and explained the clothes they were modelling. There were outfits to suit everyone, from beach wear to formal wear.
The afternoon was a delight!
The total raised for Save The Children was an amazing £1,200!
In addition a further £144 raised by the proprietor of Barbara’s of Standish from a sponsored walk undertaken during lockdown was also presented to us swelling the total on the day to £1,344 for Save the Children
Our sincere thanks to Gibbon Bridge, Barbara’s of Standish and all the 100 ladies who bought tickets for the event making it yet another very special day for Save The Children
