A FRIENDLY Warwickshire group has donated £3,850 to the Stroke Association.
Friendship group Heart of England Oddfellows raised the cash over the past 12 months through cake sales, donations at coffee mornings and supper evenings, and two members took part in a sponsored 6.5 km walk.
The Stroke Association is the UK’s leading charity in providing lifelong support for all stroke survivors and their families. It has local support groups throughout the country, including in Kenilworth and Stratford.
A cheque was presented to Kathy Baxter, Stroke Association support co-ordinator, by the friendship group’s chairman Keith Newton during its annual lunch celebration.
Each year, Heart of England Oddfellows’ chairman selects a charity to support with fundraising.
Keith said: “I’ve known several people over the years who have had strokes, so I’ve witnessed first-hand how important the Stroke Association’s work is.
“I’m very proud to hand this money over on the behalf of everyone at Heart of England Oddfellows. Thank you to those who donated and helped along the way.”
