TEDDINGTON LOTTERY DONATES £500 TO FIVE GOOD CAUSES
The local community Teddington Lottery has awarded its top ticket-selling Good Causes groups a donation of £500 each from its special Community Fund, it was announced today.
The charities and clubs are Teddington Swimming Club, the fund-raising community group SporTedd, Hampton Hill Cricket Club, Age UK and Teddington Cricket Club.
A spokesperson for SporTedd said: “ Thank you for this lovely news. This is truly the cherry on top of the bumper fund raiser evening we held last week with rugby players Lawrence Dallaglio and Rob Henderson.”
Dave MacKinney from Hampton Hill Cricket Club said: “We are extremely grateful for the donation and will go towards kitting out our newly-formed U9 Girls and Women’s teams.”
Teddington Swimming Club said: “This will allow us to purchase some backstroke ledges for the swimmers which will be such an asset for their technique and race training.”
Abi Stokes of Age UK said: “We are delighted to hear this news! Thank you so much and thank you to the community for choosing Age Uk Richmond.
A spokesperson for the Teddington Lottery told Teddington Town: “We are delighted to support those who support us. These groups are the ones that are pro-actively promoting the lottery to help raise funds for themselves. It makes total sense and we would urge any good causes in the area to sign up to the lottery.”
