A few rain showers didn’t dull the enthusiasm at this year’s North Devon Show, where crowds of eager show-goers took part in Over and Above’s ‘Giant Turtle’ Raffle in aid of the new Special care Baby Unit (SCBU) Appeal.
Fundraiser Julie Whitton explained: “Our new Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) appeal aims to raise money for state of the art ventilators, incubators, photo-therapy lights and other equipment (such as heartbeat monitors) vital to the care of the most vulnerable new born babies. 1 in 10 children will need the urgent help of the SCBU unit, so this is a really important appeal for us.”
Our prize draw, which raised nearly £500, was won by Andrea from Braunton (congratulations Andrea!) Thank you to our volunteer team who ran our stall for the day, and to everyone who bought a ticket to help get the new appeal off to a flying start. You can learn more about the SCBU appeal here.
We also collected many new sign-ups for our annual fundraising events; including the upcoming Exmoor Ramble, 90ft Abseil and Sponsored Tandem Skydive – why not register today!
