The Rotary Club held its annual Cheque Presentation Lunch at Orsett Hall on Thursday 2nd March, to distribute the funds collected for their chosen Christmas charities.
The Club President said, “From mid-December until Christmas Eve we held public collections, ran 10 Sleigh Routes around the streets of Thurrock, a static display here at Orsett Hall and spent 8 days collecting inside three major Thurrock supermarkets. We managed to collect, including recovered tax and donations, a total of £10,795, which despite the World Cup, the inclement weather and a cost of living crisis, speaks volumes about the generosity of the residents of Thurrock and the efforts of our collectors.”
Our Operations Director Peter Newall attended and received a cheque for £89, being the balance they collected on their card reader and having already received £1,588 that they collected at Sainsbury’s plus a substantial Club donation before Christmas.
THANK YOU on behalf of our Thurrock residents in crisis x
