BBS help a little Fox

Barnsley Building Society Band recently did their bit for a great charity.

 

Over 100 current and former players, families and friends of Barnsley Building Society Band enjoyed a very successful Race Night and Hog Roast last Saturday.

Little Fox

Originally planned as a social event, it was decided to use the opportunity to support the 'Little Fox's' charity.

The organisation supports cancer patients in the Barnsley hospital, where one member's wife recently had lengthy treatment. The event raised a total of £529 for the charity.

Become a supporter and help make our future secure.
