WOW, just WOW!
What can we say? What an event it was on the 29th September Cartners No.5, you blew us away raising £2659 at the auction for the town centre defibrillator. You've exceeded our expectations and we are amazed at the support from local businesses, and some not so local.
So now we can look at a possible 3rd Defibrillator in the town centre. With ongoing fundraising we could possibly buy the units and lockable coded heated cabinets for three venues, which will include Pontefract Town Hall being installed by the Council. the other two venues, Cartners No5 and near to The Old Post Office, both needing a qualified electrician to wire them in and certify the instillation.
We will continue the fundraising to support the annual cost of the units. Any surplus will be used for Pontefract town centre events, thereby benefitting the whole community.
We are grateful to all who have supported the auction with donations and bidding on the day; a few to mention are Pontefract Art Club, Kayla’s Kandy, Pickerings Of Pontefract, Pontefract Decoration Squad, Inline Kitchens & Bedrooms, Iron Dram, HeadHunters Pontefract, Cromwells Tea Rooms, The Hair Lounge Pontefract, TD Security Solutions, House of Ales, Hale Civic Society, GREG UPSON ADI,Castleford Tigers, Cartners No5 and any we may have missed.
Thank you all.
