Festive fundraiser supported Holbeach WI hall
A popular Christmas event helped raise funds to tackle a list of ongoing repairs for a town hall.
Holbeach Women’s Institute hosted a fundraising festive fayre which raised more than £400 for the community.
Theresa Higgins, who is the booking secretary for the group, said: “ It all went very well, we had lots of people come so it was very popular.
“The money raised from the fundraising event will go towards the roof, kitchen and ceiling repairs – we are raising money all of the time. The group is community spirited and we do appreciate the support of everyone.”
Visitors at the event got to enjoy a visit from Santa and Mrs Claus, which Theresa said went very well. There was also a wide selection of more than 20 craft stalls from businesses in the area.
Theresa added: “All of the stalls were brilliant and the whole event was very well attended. Everyone also enjoyed Tracey’s special hot chocolate.”
All of the money was raised by attendees booking stall tables, taking part in the tombola and buying refreshments.
Holbeach WI will be hosting a Jersey Boys tribute fundraiser on Saturday, November 25 from 6.45pm. If you are interesting in supporting the event, book your tickets by calling the box office on 07544 147770.
