AN OPEN gardens event in Ludlow has helped boost the funds of the Red Cross.
The British Red Cross president for Shropshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, Debra Tritton, has hailed the success of an open gardens event in Ludlow which was attended by the High Sheriff of Shropshire Charles Lillis and his wife Veronica.
“I would like to thank the High Sheriff and his wife for their support for the Red Cross,” said Debra Tritton.
“It was a delightful day organised by Angela Siminson with a fascinating range of courtyards and cottage gardens for us to explore.
“Thanks to the generosity of the people who came along, we raised almost £3,000.
“This will go a long way to helping us support people in crisis by funding Red Cross services including support at home after a stay in hospital, wheelchair loans and transport to medical appointments – as well as first aid training and cover at events, and support during emergencies like floods or severe weather.”
