Mill Crescent Lights raise £2333.50

Mill Crescent Christmas lights

This year a magnificent total of £2333.50 was raised for St Peters Hospice. Thanks to all the residents who braved wet and windy weather, some on ladders, to put the displays in place and to everyone who donated. Special mention to Martin Gay who tirelessly collected and counted the donations on a daily basis and to Lisa and Mark Powell who made the initial contact with St Peter’s.

Cheque Presentation in the New Inn

The cheque was presented to Jo Plummer from St Peter’s Hospice in the New Inn (see photo). Jo said "I was delighted to meet all the lovely residents of Mill Crescent, their sense of community is a lovely thing especially going the extra mile with neighbours to think of others at Christmas. This fantastic amount will provide more than 3 days round–the–clock care for one patient in the Hospice.”
