Fundraising BBQ raises over £400 for youth club

WESTBURY Youth Club raised a whopping £440 at their summer BBQ last month. Members were treated to entertainment from local magician and entertainer Dave Hickory as well as taking part in a raffle with some great prizes on offer.

“We held our summer BBQ and raffle on Wednesday 20th September where we opened up our usual session to the community. We have to say a massive thank you to the local companies who donated to our raffle and helped us raise a massive £440. 

“And also, a massive thank you to Dave Hickory who provided the entertainment for the young people for the evening. We also have to say a massive thank you to councillors Gordon and Carol King who came along to support the club and the event.” 

The full list of local companies who donated to the raffle include Garden Desires (SW) ltd, Candy Nails, New Champion, M-tech Automotive, Valerso Lounge, Fore Hair, Morrisons Community Champion, Parsons Bakery, Westbury Golf Club, Westbury Tackle, Little Sugarush, Ami’s Café, Arla, White Horse Windows, Zia Pizza, Thai Orchid, The View, The Great Cake Company, Cards Plus, Mike Hill Photography, Only Skin Deep, Go Ape, and The Three Daggers.
