20 local charities better off after Tablers hands out donations

Redditch Editorial 13th Feb, 2022   0

ALCESTER and Stratford District Round Table have donated cash to 20 local charities and groups.

The money was raised from the Santa routes that took place on the run-up to Christmas, during 14 nights across Alcester, Bidford, Studley, Welford, Meon Vale, Lower Quinton.

The total raised on the road and online was an amazing £5,064 but the group donated a total of £5,000 to 16 groups and charities at a special evening event at The Hollybush pub in Alcester on January 26.

It was an opportunity for groups and charities to meet, share what they do, and the difference they make in their community and how the money will be spent.




Stories shared about how the money raised will help include, mentoring young people, providing access to wheelchair tennis, medical equipment for first responders, and activities for Cubs, Scouts, Brownies and Rainbows.

Alcester and Stratford District Round Table’s chief elf, Alan Evans said: “It’s the most enjoyable part of being in Round Table, being able to give away such a great amount of money to all the groups that helped us on the routes and hearing what a difference the cash is going to make in our local community.


“We’d like to thank Listers Honda Stratford for supplying the tow car and Rob and Clare Iles of Avonlea Bed and Breakfast for donating the chocolates.”

With events recommencing the Tablers will be at Alcester Street Market with the traditional Pig Roast raising even more money to donate to the local community.
