These Boots were made for fund-raising
 As visitors soaked up the atmosphere, organiser Armour Gault was delighted with the climax to four months of careful planning. “Having read about the need for a new hospice and the children in The Sunday Post, I felt driven to help,” he said.
Armour’s enthusiasm didn’t take long to sweep around the Boots Manufacturing factory where he works — and soon spread to the whole town.
Over the last few months, workers have participated in activities including sponsored cycles, quizzes and raffles in the lead-up to the fun day.
Armour said, “As soon as I mentioned I was organising fund-raising events and the fete to help The Sunday Post appeal the support was overwhelming.
“My colleagues in the factory really got behind our efforts. I think people have a real empathy for the plight of the children and their families.
“The high point of the fete was the arrival of the Army’s Golden Lions Freefall team, who dropped in in spectacular fashion.
“We’re all so proud to have helped in such a vital cause and I would like to thank everyone who participated.” |
