Gelder Group is proud to announce the presentation of a cheque for £3,310.56 to St Barnabas Hospice, following the success of its recent Haunted Walk fundraising event.
The haunted walk experience, held at the Gelder Group environmental park, attracted families, staff, and members of the local community, who braved the spooky trail in support of an important cause. The event not only raised vital funds for St Barnabas but also brought people together for an evening of fun, laughter, and community spirit.
Steve Gelder CEO of Gelder Group said:
We’re absolutely delighted with the support we received from staff, volunteers and the local community. To be able to present St Barnabas with £3,310.56 is something we are incredibly proud of. The work they do is invaluable to families across Lincolnshire, and we’re pleased to play a small part in supporting them.
Olivia Dexter, Philanthropy and Partnerships Manager at St Barnabas commented:
We’re so grateful to Gelder Group for choosing to support St Barnabas, to the Lincoln College students for their brilliant help, and to our amazing volunteers who brought the scares and smiles in equal measure! Gelder Group have once again shown how supporting local charities can be both unique and fun, and we’re so proud to have been part of it. Every pound raised will help us continue caring for patients and families across Lincolnshire who need us most.
Building on this year’s success, plans are already underway for next year’s Haunted Walk, with the aim of making it even bigger and better, with more attractions, more scares, and more opportunities for the community to get involved. Gelder Group is also inviting anyone who would like to volunteer for future Haunted Walk events to get in touch. Interested volunteers can contact Gelder Group on 01427 778837 and ask to speak to Dawn Brumpton.
Gelder Group would like to thank everyone who attended, volunteered, donated, and supported the event, helping to make it such a fantastic success.
