Kingsbridge and Saltstone Caring hosted its first
fundraising event of the year with a Spring Fashion Show at Avon Mill Garden
Centre.
Over 100 people turned out to view the latest season’s
trends provided by Threads Boutique. Six well known ‘local models’ braved
a chill but sunny evening to show off with great panache the new range.
Sue Durrant, Sam Dennis, Carol Tee, Jilly Spencer, Sue Dod and Dani Steer
(pictured from left to right) brought a touch of colour and much warmth to the
evening.
Interim Manager Jane Bray said: “We raised lots of money and
want to thank everyone who came along; we do enjoy arranging things
which support our community and you. It’s great that people help us to help
others so generously and we all have fun too.”
Charity trustees and staff provided a delicious array of
home-made canapes which received lots of compliments and the ticket included a
free drink. A raffle proved very popular and grateful thanks were expressed to
all the organisations and people who provided such generous prizes.
KASC has arranged more events in the next few months and
hope to see you soon. Next up there is a Film Night on 3 May and the Creeks End
Saltstone Cup Euchre Drive on 21 May. In June there is a Classic Car
Rally at Gara Rock on Father’s Day, Cream Teas and Carriage Drives on the 23rd,
and Thurlestone Golf Club which has adopted KASC as their charity of the year
is holding a Fashion Show at the Club on the 25th. Telephone 01548

As ever the charity is seeking new volunteers as client

which come to the charity from health and social care where capacity is
limited. If you want to make a difference, please call the office.
