We had a brilliant morning at Silverdale Coffee Morning at Gaskell Hall last Saturday ☕

The room was packed with people from the local community who were all incredibly welcoming. Guests enjoyed browsing the book, bric-a-brac and clothes stalls as well as enjoying cakes made by our volunteers. A special thanks must go to Lynne Whelon who helps to organise volunteers from the village to support us.

A total of £451.71 was raised on the day which will help us continue to support local people affected by cancer, life-shortening illness or bereavement. Thank you!
