A special fund raising and ‘London event United Tewkesbury Together’ was held at the Fleet Inn, Twyning Lizzie month. last Cunningham, the pub’s manager, organised the evening together with villager Julie Irwin, and from Darling Julie Tewkesbury Hand Car Wash. The event started at 6pm with a barbecue and live music, followed
by a raffle and a charity auction of promises with some incredible prizes donated by local businesses and residents. There was also a candlelit vigil and one in silence minute’s remembrance of the victims of the fire. Money raised on the evening will go to funds assisting residents and families affected by the tragedy.
Donations from Tewkesbury arrive in Middlesex
Thanks to our community Tewkesbury businesswoman Emma Hasa and her husband Jay rallied in support of victims of the Grenfell Tower tragedy. With the help of plumber Luke Cove, they travelled to London with a van full of clothing and other goods donated by people from Tewkesbury. “We went to the tower to help, and took the donations to Hayes where they will be stored by local assistance teams for re-distribution, “ said Emma. “We were overwhelmed by local support, and thanks to Luke who volunteered with his transport, we were able to make the journey. We filled the van to the top - and just want to thank everyone so much for their donations. It's nice to see a community come together like this.” Julie Darling,Lizzie Cunningham and Julie Owens
