As part of their annual Save the Children Week fundraising last month Preston branch held a fundraising luncheon.

The event was held at the very friendly Sparling Restaurant in Barton near Preston and was an oustanding success raising £1,197.

Frances Seth , branch secretary of the Preston Save the Children Branch and Preston Shop Leader (pictured front right opposite branch member, Cathy Shelly) added that the branch was extremely grateful to all the diners who supported the event and to the management and staff at The Sparling who once more produced an excellent menu and made everyone feel most welcome

This year was the branch’s 3rd annual visit to The Sparling and the amount of nearly £1,200 was a branch record for the venue.
