What we did last summer....
Bournemouth Branch and District Samaritans enjoyed a really successful summer of 2019. We travelled around Bournemouth and met many people. We enjoyed hosting a cream tea event in Wimborne and raised over £500.00. On a glorious summer's day, in July, we pitched our new gazebo at the biggest Littledown Family Fair ever hosted by BH Live. On another sunny day, we arrived at Bournemouth Lower Gardens for Bourne Pride. We met so many wonderful people - fellow stall holders and people coming to the event. Later on in the summer, Voodoo Lou's Tattoo Emporium raised an incredible £1400 for our branch giving tattoos to her fantastic customer and donating all money to us! We are still so grateful for that brilliant weekend of fundraising. Chaplins, in Boscombe, hosted a great musical evening for our branch. We enjoyed great food, music and some drinks. A huge thank you to all our volunteers, the wonderful generosity of the people we met. We aim to have another brilliant summer some time soon.
