CHIPPING Sodbury’s craft and gift fair was enjoyed by all with all proceeds going to Parkinson’s UK.

Amanda Battle organised the event which saw over two hundred people enjoy local crafts and gifts on offer at the town hall.

Mrs Battle has been fundraising for ten years for a variety of charities, hosting events up to six times a year to encourage donations.

Mrs Battle said: “I raise small amounts at a time as it’s generally made through the voluntary entrance fee, so sometimes £30 a fair based on that.

“I normally choose a charity per year and this year I chose Parkinson’s UK as my Grandfather who passed away last year did have Parkinsons.”

The organiser’s next event will be in March next year to raise funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Mrs Battle said: “It was a success, and many thanks to everyone who helped, stall holders and visitors who braved the weather to come along.”
