Hucknall Round Table 578 set out this year to giveaway a total of 9 x £578 and a final big giveaway of £5780 in January 2011. So far this year we have supported 5 good causes – Spiral (support for bereaved children), Maggie’s Cancer Care, The Chloe Cotton Trust, Drum Therapy and the Holgate Infant School garden (see photo).
Whether it is a major project completing a £10,000 autistic unit in Cotmanhay, or a £500 trip for a seriously ill child to Disneyland, we aim support all LOCAL good causes. We are one of the strongest tables in the Country and have been going for 50 years.
