NARBOROUGH HALL SPREADS CHRISTMAS CHEER WITH £2,500 MENPHYS DONATION
A Leicestershire gift shop has raised an impressive £2,500 for Menphys following its exclusive Christmas Preview event.
Narborough Hall used its annual five day event to raise money for the organisation, which it has chosen as its Charity of the Year, by selling raffle tickets and donating 10% from all sales taken during the event.
The Christmas Preview provides shoppers with an exclusive look at the festive collection from Narborough Hall, which includes this year’s must-have decorations and gifts.
Menphys is a Leicestershire charity providing support and services to children with disabilities or complex health needs, as well as their families.
Simon Edwards, who co-owns Narborough Hall with wife Sophie, comments: “We are so pleased to have raised such a great sum for Menphys. We chose Menphys as our Charity of the Year because of the fantastic work they do supporting local young people and we are delighted that this money will help towards the £500,000 they need to run their vital services. We would like to thank everyone who visited Narborough Hall during our Christmas Preview week, bought a raffle ticket or a festive item and helped us to reach this total.”
Tracey Morris, fundraising and marketing manager at Menphys, comments: “Menphys was delighted to be a part of such a fantastic event and we value the continued support from Narborough Hall. The money raised goes such a long way in supporting the children and families across Leicester and Leicestershire with disabilities and complex health needs. We are incredibly pleased to have been chosen as the Charity of the Year by such a high profile local business.”
