A NORTH Wales domiciliary eye care team has raised £440 for the Alzheimer’s Society after hosting a community bingo night in Holywell.
The Specsavers Clwyd and Snowdonia Home Visits team, which provides essential eye care to people in their own homes, welcomed almost 50 attendees to the Halkyn Cricket Club, Holywell for an evening of fundraising.
With a full house on the night, guests enjoyed a packed programme of games and prizes, raising vital funds for the Alzheimer’s Society and sparking conversations around dementia and the support available locally.
Through their domiciliary service, the team regularly supports patients living with dementia, which is why Alzheimer’s Society was chosen as the focus of their fundraising.
Abbey Hughes, office supervisor and organiser of the event, says: ‘It was such a fantastic night from start to finish. The support from the local community really exceeded our expectations and the atmosphere in the room said it all.
‘We’re incredibly proud to have such vital funds for a cause that connects so closely to the people we care for every day. A big thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a success.’
A selection of prizes, including high-street vouchers, were donated by the team, alongside contributions from local businesses such as Apollo Bingo Rhyl, The Craft Shack, Flowers by Anne, Hair by Sarah, Waffle Box, The Gathering, Spavens and Hungry Cow.
