The Lindfield Club raises thousands for Mid Sussex Older People's Council

Members of Lindfield Club have raised over £3,200 for charity over the last couple of years. The club usually changes its charity annually, but with Covid preventing many fundraising activities in the first year, the committee decided to carry on supporting Mid Sussex Older People’s Council for another 12 months. The club usually does a range of activities including a meat raffle, race nights, ‘snarts’ competition (snooker and darts), and a charity dinner when social secretary Paula Schofield lays on a three-course meal and guests pay what they think it’s worth into the charity pot! “We love doing things together,” Paula explained, “and it’s great to support local charities at the same time.” The cheque was presented to MSOPC chair Barbara Baldwin and vice chair Val Upton by long-time Lindfield Club member Kath Baker. This year’s nominated charity will be Dame Vera Lynn’s Children’s Charity.
