Staff and customers at the Richard Herrod<br />
Centre in Carlton have been raising money for the<br />
Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance<br />
charity since 2008 and have now hit a significant<br />
milestone.<br />
The fundraisers from Carlton presented another<br />
£10,000 cheque to the charity in November at the<br />
Richard Herrod Centre.<br />
The air ambulance charity have now received over<br />
£50,000 in total from the group.<br />
As well as the weekly quiz night, the team also hold<br />
three big raffles a year, which raise over £600 each,<br />
weekly raffles and they also sell books and other<br />
items to raise money for the charity.<br />
Leader of Gedling Borough Council, Councillor John<br />
Clarke said;<br />
“This is more than just a quiz night, this is a<br />
community who are getting together, having a fun<br />
evening and raising an incredible amount for charity.<br />
The team who organise the events do a fantastic<br />
job, and I know the money raised will be greatly<br />
appreciated. The people involved should be very proud<br />
of what they have helped to achieve here, we couldn’t<br />
do this without them and it’s fantastic to see just how<br />
much money they have raised to help support this very<br />
worthy cause.”<br />
