WONSTON Community Cafe raised more than £450 when the Boaz Project came to visit.
The Boaz Project, a farm-based charity that helps adults with learning disabilities, helped to raise a total of £480.
Janis Kinnell, from the community cafe, said: “It was a fabulous morning as always, and great that Cat and Scott from Boaz could come along. Cat and our café volunteer Barbara, manned the produce stall in the foyer and raised £138.50 from sales of bird boxes, jams, cards and jewellery – all made by the Boaz team, as well as eggs from the Boaz chickens! Scott enjoyed his visit and did a fabulous job of spreading the word about Boaz and helping pack the stall (and the tables and chairs) away.
“The Boaz chocolate cake took centre stage on the cake counter, and every slice sold. It was delicious. Sales of cake and coffee, along with donations, raised £480 after expenses.”
The next Wonston Community Cafe will be at the Victoria Hall, Sutton Scotney, 9.30am–12 noon on Wednesday, April 17. Funds raised will be donated to Citizens Advice.
