A FUNDRAISING day of live music, raffles and a tombola held at The Pilot in Bowerhill raised £4,240 for two charities – Wiltshire Mind and RUH’s Forever Friends Appeal.
The event on Saturday 16th October ran for almost 12 hours and had musical performances from local acts including The Rock Choir, Chloe Brewer, Emma Webb, Maxwell Walters, Band X, Plan of Action, Heather Kerr and The Vars.
“It was amazing to hear live music again, they all kept us entertained!” said organiser, Tracie Winslow. “So many people supported us and came on the day, the weather was perfect and the atmosphere was lovely.
“It was great to see so many families out enjoying themselves again.
“We were joined by Joe McTiernan, a trustee of Wiltshire Mind. He made me aware just how much help the money will be, especially after the pandemic.
“A big thank you to everyone who donated and helped on the day. Special thanks must go to Lisa Caine, Chloe Brewer and Paul Winslow for all their help throughout.”
