Community Partners Aim To Raise Thousands!

Two hard-working Honiton charities have teamed up to put on an impressive fundraiser on Saturday 5th October.

Honiton Hospital League of Friends and Friends of the Beehive are teaming up to put on a Charity Auction at Honiton Community College. Local auctioneers Chilcott's have kindly offered their services for free for the event which kicks off at 7.30pm. It's free to attend and refreshments and a light buffet will be provided.

Honiton Hospital League of Friends are currently fundraising to provide every patient with their own bedside television, radio and headset. Heather Penwarden, Chairman of the League of Friends said "The facility will be free to use and will be of significant benefit to patients unfortunate enough to need to be in hospital. Nine further sets are required before we can start installing. Please come along and support this amazing event, every pound raised will help towards achieving our goal."

The two charities are asking local businesses to donate lots and are working towards having over 50 lots lined up on the night. Lots donated so far include a £300 holiday voucher, a tattoo, massage, acupuncture, homeopathy and reflexology sessions, meals, gardening, artwork, courses, beauty treatments, haircuts, spiritual readings and days out! Advance bids from people who are unable to attend the auction will be taken in the week running up to the event (via the website). Local businesses wanting to donate an item can call Sharon on 07447597390 and all the lots can be viewed on www.friendsofthebeehive.org.
