Thanks to our Community Supporters

Willow Wood has wonderful support with community fundraisers undertaking all different kinds of activities to raise much-needed funds. We’ve recently had two wonderful donations from two diverse activities – a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro and a Bike Show and Rock Night.

John Murrie and fellow members of the Wild Geese Motor Cycle Club brought in a wonderful donation of £900 from their event in August at the Junction Inn, Turner Lane.They had a great day with stalls, a tombola and a raffle, two rock groups and the support of other motorcycle clubs.The Junction’s manager, Lee Chadderton also brought his own steam engine along and provided children’s rides.Well done to everyone involved.

David Counsell ticked a personal challenge off his bucket list, and raised the incredible amount of £5,000 when he trekked to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.He presented the cheque to events organiser Elaine McConnell who said ‘We can’t thank our supporters enough for all they do for us.It will take £2.5million to run Willow Wood this year – that’s over £285 each hour.We just couldn’t do it without the commitment and support of people like John and David. Thank you,’
