Councillor's Celebration raises funds for local good causes.

Councillor Brian Silvester recently held a birthday celebration at Willaston Social Club. During the evening there was a  prize raffle and an 'Auction of Promises' which raised over £850 for local good causes, including  Willaston Pre School and the St. John's Parent and Toddler Group Willaston.

Cllr Silvester said," I am really grateful to all those who offered raffle prizes or auction promises or generally assisted in the organising of the event. We had a really enjoyable and entertaining evening and at the same time we raised a large amount for some of the local groups that do so much for our local community. It is always good to support local volunteers who give so freely of their time to help others.

Local singer Tim Gallagher, the winner of the local Star Quest competition 2008, entertained the guests and local Willaston Chippy, ' Mick the Chip' provided the fish and chips.

If there are local groups in my Ward of Willaston and Rope who are looking for a small match funding grant to assist in a project they should contact me."
