Kind hearted residents from Broad Leas Court, a sheltered housing scheme in St Ives, have raised £500 for Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust’s charity, ‘dreamdrops.’

The money was raised through events organised by residents including making or donating stuffed toys, donating prizes for a monthly raffle and a Bring and Buy sale.

Suzanne Milham, one of the residents said: “We decided to raise the money for dreamdrops because we wanted a local children’s charity to benefit from our fundraising and we know the charity provide wonderful support to children and their families in the area.”

Anne-Marie Hamilton, Chairman of dreamdrops said: “To raise so much money for dreamdrops represents a fantastic effort from everyone involved. We cannot thank the residents enough for their kindness and the money raised will go towards making the lives of the children we care for that little bit easier.”
