Sheltered Housing residents at Arthur Barnes Court in Grays held a fundraising event for St Luke’s Thurrock hospice on Saturday 26 October and raised more than £1,000.
Residents, their families and friends raised a grand total of £1,075 for the hospice by holding a raffle, disco and fancy dress competition. A special mention must be made of resident Evelyn Bodimeade (pictured) who was sponsored to shave her head at the event.
She said: “It was a great event for a great cause that is close to all of our hearts.”
Residents at the site have previously raised funds for Great Ormand Street Hospital.
Thank you to our Sheltered Housing Officers for supporting residents with their events.
