Cannock Soroptimists held a very successful coffee morning to raise funds for Cannock’s Special Needs Adventure Playgound – SNAP – located on the Pye Green Road. It is the only facility of its kind in the area, families come from all over the County and beyond to use it. Soroptimists have had an involvement with SNAP over many years and they were delighted to host this event for them.
Nearly 50 people went along to the coffee morning held at the home of Soroptimist Trish Mellor; members and their friends and families were incredibly generous by donating cakes, raffle prizes and items for the bring and buy stall. As well as enjoying a morning of friendship everyone who went along was equally generous with the raffle and the bring and buy and a fabulous sum of £510.00 was raised!! Bob Heighway, Chair of SNAP, came along to meet everyone and to talk a little of the history of the way we provide for children with special needs and of some of the wonderful facilities SNAP offers to children and their families. Although we are now able to offer so much, facilities such as SNAP still rely very heavily on donations and Bob was very grateful to Cannock Soroptimists and their guests for helping them.
