Crosby’s Soroptimists turned out in force in support of Crosby Hall Educational Trust (CHET) at a fundraising event.
The annual ‘open garden’ at Crosby Hall in Little Crosby always attracts hundreds of visitors. An army of volunteers is needed to help the day run smoothly, and Soroptimists form a substantial part of the workforce.
In the beautiful gardens, Soroptimist stewards’ hi-vis vests caught the eye whenever visitors had a question. Most of the time we knew the answer!
On such a lovely sunny day there was constant activity in the café, set up in the children’s dining room. Visitors made short work of the cakes and scones baked by CHET staff. So Soroptimists on the cash till were kept busy. Clearing away, replenishing supplies – and cleaning up – were never-ending tasks. On the raffle stall, business was brisk.
All proceeds from the day go to CHET. SI Crosby has supported this local educational residential centre for children for decades.
From CHET: “A huge thank you to all those who were able to help with our Garden Open Day … We could not run our events without your help and are, as always, extremely grateful!”
