Couple’s golden charity ball

A couple celebrated their golden wedding anniversary by raising nearly £2,000 for charities by holding a special ball.

Brenda and Chris Wells put the event on at the South Holland Centre in May, the day after they celebrated 50 years as a married couple.

A number of local businesses helped out with auction and raffle prizes.

Also among the prizes auctioned was a guitar signed by the band Fairport Convention who were gigging at the venue at the same time.

In total they raised £970 for Crohn’s and Colitis UK and £1,000 for Cystic Fibrosis both of which are close to the family.

The pair recently presented the cheque to Katie Kirby of Cystic Fibrosis at their employers Bulley Davey.

Brenda said: “We all had a wonderful, memorable evening. Thank you to all of the businesses that helped out with the night and thanks also to everyone who came.”

Chris added: “It was a brilliant occasion.”
