On Saturday 22nd June, we participated in an indoor craft fair at Groby Village Hall. This event was a delightful blend of creativity and charity, aimed at raising funds for the Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity.

A Day of Crafts and Community

We set up a stall, contributing to the vibrant atmosphere of the fair. In addition to presenting our services and connecting with the community, our team was actively involved in assisting the event organisers. We helped with the raffle tickets, served food, and offered muffins, tea, and coffee to the attendees. It was a wonderful opportunity to engage with the community while supporting a worthy cause.

Supporting a Worthy Cause

Through the collective efforts of the participants and the generosity of the visitors, the event successfully raised between £100 and £200. This contribution will aid the hospital in providing essential care and support.
