Successful Craft Fayre Raises £3,300 for CHAS Charity in Clackmannanshire
A craft fayre held by the recently established Friends of CHAS Clackmannanshire volunteering group was a resounding success, raising over £3,300 for the CHAS charity. The event, which took place at the Coronation Hall in Muckhart, drew support from across the Wee County.
Diane Walker, the group’s lead, expressed her delight and pride at the amazing turnout on Saturday and the substantial amount raised for CHAS. She extended her gratitude to everyone who attended and generously donated. Walker acknowledged the collaborative effort of the whole team and recognized the invaluable assistance provided by their family and friends. Notably, the original group set up in the 1990s had two members who lent a helping hand.
The craft fayre aimed to support CHAS (Children’s Hospices Across Scotland), a charity that holds special significance for the founders of Friends of CHAS Clackmannanshire. CHAS is a unique service in Scotland, providing care to babies, young people, and children with life-shortening conditions. Their mission is to ensure that all families facing these challenges receive the help and support they deserve.
This successful fundraiser would not have been possible without the contributions of the group’s sponsors, who generously donated raffle and silent auction prizes. Friends of CHAS Clackmannanshire encourages everyone to stay updated on their future events by following their Facebook page.
In summary, the craft fayre organized by Friends of CHAS Clackmannanshire proved to be a remarkable triumph. The community’s overwhelming support, combined with the dedicated efforts of the team, resulted in a substantial donation of £3,300 to the CHAS charity. This achievement not only highlights the generosity of the community but also underscores the importance of providing the necessary support to families facing challenging circumstances.
