Tracy Wood from Woodford Heating and Energy organised a very glamorous charity ball to raise funds for the children we are currently supporting.

The event, held at Woolston Manor Golf and Country Club, included a three course meal, entertainment from an X-Factor singer and an auction and raffle.

Over £9,000 was raised and it will now be used to grant the wishes of 10 children we are currently supporting through our Care Grants project. Their wishes range from toys to birthday parties, to Disneyland holidays!

We would like to say a huge thank you to Tracy at Woodford Heating, Sarah and Nichola from Chapman Consulting, Woolston Manor, the host, the entertainers, everyone who donated items towards the raffle and auction, and all the guest in attendance.

Natasha Fisher and John Worrow both successfully completed sponsored skydives on 28th February at Beccles Heliport in Suffolk. The lucky pair won their skydive places in raffle at The Old Deanery Care Village and the whole village helped to raise more than £400 in sponsorship!
The Old Deanery Care Village's next fundraising event is an 87 mile bike ride at Tesco Superstore in Braintree, on Friday 14th March. Members of the village will be raising sponsors and encouraging donations from the public by riding a static exercise bike the distance between Braintree and LEGOLAND!
