The Mayor of Swindon has thanked all those who supported his charity dinner on Tuesday evening at Mario’s Italian in Old Town.
The event was held in aid of his chosen charities, Children’s Cancer and Leukaemia Movement (CALM) and Swindon & North Wilts Deaf Children’s Society (DCS) .
Mayor of Swindon, Councillor Kevin Parry said: “I am pleased of the support we have received to support the good work of my chosen charities”
“I want to say a huge thank you to everyone that helped to make the evening such a success.”
Over 80 people enjoyed a three course dinner and took part in a raffle and an auction, with prizes all donated by local businesses including Holmes Music and ATB Skate Warehouse. Robert Buckland also donated a signed bottle of whiskey from the Houses of Parliament.
Richard Crowley, Chairman of CALM said: “CALM has had amazing support from Kevin & Barbara with a host of successful events including the Italian night, a curry & quiz, their song & dance showcase, a charity boxing night, a Christmas Fayre, Kevin doing an abseil and other support. As a small volunteer led charity what they’ve already achieved so far has made a real difference to our finances and in turn that ensures we can support and provide more help for children with Cancer in Swindon & the surrounding area.
