Yeovil Samaritans was honoured to be one of the beneficiaries of an incredible sum of money raised for charities at the 2019 Rotary Classic and Supercar Show.
We’d like to thank the organisers of the Show for their dedication and commitment to raising such an amazing sum
Faye Dimdore, Trustee Yeovil Samaritans
Earlier this month, Yeovil Samaritans trustee and listening volunteer Faye Dimdore was presented with a cheque for £1,000 by Nigel Young, Chairman of Trustees for the Sherborne Classic Cars CIO.
A total of 18 charities received cheques from the sums raised which this year totalled £61,000 bringing the running total distributed to charities over the last six years to a staggering 232,000.
Faye said: ‘We’d like to thank the organisers of the Show for their dedication and commitment to raising such an amazing sum, and in particular to Nigel Lindsay who is a listening volunteer with our branch, as well as a member of one of the three Rotary Organisations working together to create this event and who brought the opportunity to be one of the nominated charities to our attention. And of course, big thanks to our support volunteer Geoff who completed the pitch which persuaded the organisers to support Yeovil Samaritans.’
We are already making plans to be more involved with next year’s event, which takes place on Sunday 19th July 2020'.
