Recent Events
A group of young carers in July 2010 took part in archery, wall climbing and the rope challenge course at the Duke’s Barn, Beeley and a great time was had by all. In December 2010 another group of young people will enjoy a very special celebratory meal and entertainment at The Ringwood Hall Hotel at Brimington.
This is a regular club commitment which gives the young people a much needed break from their responsibilities.
ACTION FOR CHILDREN
Club Member Betty Dunne kindly hosted a coffee morning at her home to raise funds for Action For Children . In addition to coffee and biscuits members and their guests were able to purchase plants, jewelleryand other items from a variety of stalls. There was also a fundraising raffle. All proceeds from this event are to be donated to Action for Children. President Margaret Meeney sincerely thanked Betty for once more opening her home and garden for yet another worthy cause.
