Dobcross Scope for success

The young players of Dobcross Youth Band have raised money for a wonderful charity.

Dobcross Youth
 

At their rehearsal last Friday evening Dobcross Youth Band presented a cheque for £432.00 to Mike Brogden who came along to represent the charity, Scope.

Suggestion

Scope supports families and children with cerebral palsy, and it had been the suggestion of Mike’s daughter that the Youth Band support them this year.

The youngsters raised money by carolling around Dobcross on Christmas morning and by holding other events, like cake sales and chocolate rafflesJenny Wood

Proud

A proud Secretary Jenny Wood told 4BR: "The youngsters raised money by carolling around Dobcross on Christmas morning and by holding other events, like cake sales and chocolate raffles.

The band members are now busy thinking of another good cause to support this year!"
