A GROUP of fundraisers from Pucklechurch has been honoured by the NSPCC for its efforts.
The group has raised more than £150,000 for the children’s charity over 35 years, through events including auctions, suppers, coffee mornings, skittles evenings and sales of books, jewellery and bric a brac.
Juliet Hills, who founded the village NSPCC support group in 1989, said: “None of it would have been possible without the energy and dedication of our committee and the support of professional colleagues in NSPCC South West.
“The wider support of so many people in the village and beyond has been amazing.”
Emma Hildesley, NSPCC community fundraising manager, presented members past and present with certificates and badges commemorating a combined total of more than 250 years of volunteering.
She said: “This is a fantastic achievement.
“You have made a phenomenal contribution – and put the fun into fundraising.
“We are really proud of everything you have done.”
Group members are not resting on their laurels – four days after their celebration event they held another coffee morning.
