Grantham volunteer presents £1,000 to BHive Community Hub following fundraising night

A charity volunteer presented a Grantham community hub with a £1,000 cheque after he held a fundraising night.

Rob Dixon, who is a volunteer with the BHive Community Hub in Grantham, presented the hub with the cheque on Monday, October 24.

The money raised was from a fundraising night held by Rob at Finkins on Saturday, October 15, where the night raised £3,100.

Rob said: "I was delighted to present the first cheque presentation of £1000 to The BHive Community.

"It is an amazing organisation that supports so many people in and around Grantham."

The cheque was presented to Susan Swinburn, the CEO of the South Lincolnshire Blind Society (SLBS) and who oversees the BHive Community Hub, and to Nigel Brocklebank, chairman of the SLBS.

Rob added: "Both commit an enormous amount of time to helping and supporting others and they are supported by a group of amazing volunteers."

More money was presented to the Kingfishers Ward - a children's' ward at Grantham Hospital and St Barnabas Hospice.

The Kingfishers Ward was presented with £103 worth of new toys, as nurse Hayley White put out an appeal from the ward for some.

The hospice received a large amount of personal hygeine products.
