In addition, local schools and businesses who watched the event online enjoyed artisan traybake platters from DELI LITES Ireland which also contributed to the total amount raised.

£1,140 was raised for both of Southern Area Hospice Services and Life & Time which will enable these two fantastic local charities to continue to carry out their vital work in our community.

Special thanks to all of the local businesses who donated raffle prizes including:
