Singers across North Devon raise £1,200 for the Seamoor Unit

“Cloud 9” and various singing and musician friends raised £1,200 for Seamoor Unit patient special treatments, by holding a number of musical concerts and events. Nine local entertainers from across north Devon performed at Over 60s clubs, the village of Bradworthy ran a Wine & Wisdom Quiz Evening, and several smaller events such as an afternoon tea, name the doll competition, cake raffle and pub collections from the folk group “Peculiar Folk” made up the total.

Cloud 9 eventTheir cheque was presented to the Unit by most of the main drivers of the fundraising team, Alastair Ashworth from Woolsery, Linda Atherton (absent – Andy Atherton) from Hartland, Shirleyann Andrews and Roger Andrews, from Bradworthy. They were all delighted to be shown around the Unit and offered to raise funds next year for another part of the hospital.

The opening of Fortescue Ward, specialising in helping dementia patients, registered as a cause close to their hearts, and the group aims to raise £1,000 in 2016 to help the ward wherever possible.  News of their 2016 events will be awaited with interest!
