Swimbridge School Pupils held a great event at Tesco, Rose Lane last Friday and raised over £400.00. The staff and children sold books, jigsaw puzzles and took part in Tesco’s Dance Beats activity. All had a great time and proved to be FANTASTIC dancers too.

The money raised has been split between Over & Above in aid of the Cancer & Wellbeing Centre Appeal and Diabetes UK.

Big Thanks to Mrs Tibbles and the Pupils at Swimbridge School. Dan, Pam and all the Tesco staff.

Another FANTASTIC Fundraising achievement, this time from Michael “Dilly” Castle. He endured a 117 mile sponsored walk that took him 6 days and 6 hours to complete and involved him walking from South Wembury to Lynmouth..

Michael took this challenge in memory of his late mother and raised a WHOPPING £831.00 from sponsorship, which will be going to the New Cancer & Wellbeing Centre Appeal.

WELL DONE Michael!!

Local Ilfracombe man, Richard Barnes has recently completed his ‘Ampuversary Walk’ almost a year to the day that he was admitted to hospital. His 12 month recovery journey lead him to fundraise for ‘Over and Above’, North Devon District Hospital’s registered charity,  following the treatment he received during his stay. He raised an absolutely astounding  £7,800 which will be shared between the Intensive Care Unit and the Cancer and Wellbeing Centre appeal. Well done Richard!
