Over £1,000 has been raised for Halton Haven Hospice after an open-handed couple donate their caravan
A generous couple have donated the use of their caravan to a hospice charity as part of a prize giveaway, raising a substantial amount in the process.
Tracey Jones and Adi Wildin gave up their caravan to be used as a prize in a raffle as part of a fundraiser for Halton Haven Hospice in Runcorn. The luxury caravan, used by the couple for family holidays and able to sleep up to six people, was given away as part of a raffle, which raised over £1,000. Other prizes included a three night stay at the Hafan Y Mor Holiday Park in North Wales this summer.
The duo were spurred to donate their caravan after being moved by help and care given to their relatives by Halton Haven Hospice.
Paula Mullin, head of Halton Haven’s fundraising, said: “The raffle was a great opportunity for everyone to be in with a chance of winning a break away, which in the economy we live in today is a much welcomed gift for families who can sometimes not afford to go away.
“The caravan’s usage had been kindly donated to us by Tracy and Adi who has very kindly given us usage free of charge with all money raised going towards the ever increasing running costs of the hospice.
“With support and generosity from our local community we are able to continue to provide our specialist kind of caring for Halton.
“Prizes like this don’t come along every week.
“With the couple’s blessing we were able to split the week long prize over two weekends so there was a greater chance to be in with winning this fantastic prize.”
It’s no surprise that the raffle raised so much money – tickets to win the lavish caravan were on sale in all hospice shops and the Halton Haven reception, as well as being sold by kind members of the public.
