A tenant bakes up a donation for Macmillan Cancer Support

16 March 2010

A kind-hearted resident of The Wrekin Housing Trust has helped to raise £200 for the charity Macmillan Cancer Support.

Resident Thomas Seales raffled off a Christmas cake he had made, together with a bottle of champagne. He sold tickets to friends, family and other residents living at the scheme where he lives.

In a cheque presentation held at Seven Walk supported housing scheme, Thomas handed over the funds he had raised to Claire Nester from Macmillan Cancer Support. Thomas said: "I am thrilled to be handing over the cheque to such a great cause. I would like to thank everyone who bought a raffle ticket and who contributed to this fantastic charity."

Wendy Bostock from the Trust said: "Thomas is an asset to the Trust and this is an example of just what can be done by fundraising at home. £200 is a fantastic amount of money and I'm sure it will go some way in helping Macmillan with their ongoing work and projects."
