Larne residents raise over £900 for cancer charity

Corran Manor residents enjoying a bingo event over lockdown.

The community banded together on Saturday, September 26 to support a coffee morning in aid of the charitable organisation.

The organisers had originally planned to hold the event in their gardens, but due to the latest Covid restrictions, this had to be altered.

Invitations were produced and delivered around the area and a delivery service was set up to allow people to enjoy the coffee and cakes at their own home.

One resident made a number of knitted dolls which raised £150.

Another person sold jam. This raised £120 for Macmillan.

In total, £910 was collected from the event.

Corran Manor residents also supported the NHS over the summer with a number of events, including bingo nights and quiz evenings, adhering to Covid regulations.

The organisers wish to thank everyone who has supported their fundraising events.
