DunnBarton Interiors, at 62 Church Street, are holding a Preview Party on Saturday 18th October, from 9am to 5pm, during which they will be holding a charity raffle.
All money raised from the fundraiser will be donated to ‘Hope for Holly’, a charity which is close to the hearts of the owners of the family-run business.
Freya Barton is the daughter of Charlotte, who runs the store with her dad John. When she was 2 years-old Freya was diagnosed with Pluro Pulmonary Blastoma and received a year’s worth of treatment at Freeman Hospital in Newcastle, including chemotherapy and surgery to remove two thirds of her right lung. During her difficult journey, Freya was supported by ‘Hope for Holly’, a charity which raises funds to help children with cancer. One of the ways they help is to provide a holiday home at Ribby Hall near Blackpool; a place where families struck by cancer can spend time with each other and relax.
Money raised from the raffle will be donated back to the charity to help other families in similar situations.
Tickets will be on sale during the event for £1.
If any local businesses would like to donate a prize for the raffle, they can call into the shop or ring 01388 776615.
