WI raises £751 for hospital
A Women’s Institute near Pickering has raised money through fundraising for Scarborough Hospital. Lockton and Levisham WI recently held a fundraising evening for Scarborough Hospital's 'Urgent and Emergency Care Appeal'. The event included a presentation by Maya
Liversidge from the York and Scarborough Hospitals Charity followed by a lively and entertaining 'Auction of Promises’.
The WI raised £751.30 and local businesses rallied round to donate vouchers and prizes. Friends, supporters and WI members also offered a wide range of other items including sacks of logs, homemade preserves, a guided nature walk and art tuition. A spokesperson said: “Lockton and Levisham WI may be a small group compared to many WIs across the country but when it comes to fundraising it is a formidable team.”
