Rough Diamonds stage hearty fundraiser

The Rough Diamonds group held a fundraising event for the British Heart Foundation in memory of a special woman.

Volunteers Sandra and Denzel organised the event in honour of Sandra’s mum and Denzel’s nan, Mrs Audrey Browne. 

A tombola, raffle and a cake sale all helped to raise the sum of £87.71. 

Ashton St. Peter’s councillor Joyce Bowerman attended the event alongside her husband Fred. 

She said: “Fred and I had a fantastic morning, well done to Sandra and Denzel. The event raised vital funds for such a good charity. A big well done to all involved!”

The Rough Diamonds group meet at 10.30am every Wednesday for a ‘pay what you can’ coffee morning at the Linda Fletcher Community Base, Ryecroft House, Ashton.
