Honest John has donated £500 from his “Community Kitty” to Newton Aycliffe Women’s Institute to whom he sends thanks for the scrumptious Christmas Cake.
£300 has been given to Great Aycliffe Cancer Support Group and a £1000 to Simpasture area to buy a community defibrillator. A further £1000 goes to Lifeline Community Action Christmas Appeal. The final Christmas gift of £1000 is donated to Aycliffe’s RocSolid to give young people in the town a better time over the holidays.
Fundraising begins again on 4th January for another defibrillator to be placed in a suitable location in the town.
John said: “Seasonal thanks to DISC, Newton Press, Val, Roger, Les Gibson, and all those Newtonians who have supported the charity over eight years and made it a success”.
