One good turn deserves another as woodturning club donates funds raised for hospice charity
Members of a woodturning group based at Leasingham near Sleaford have been busy turning for charity.
Two members of Lincolnshire Association of Woodturners, Charlie Ridley and Peter Knights-Branch came up with the idea of turning light-pulls for the club’s chosen Lincolnshire based charity, St Barnabas Hospice.
At a workshop night, members set themselves a challenge to produce over 100 light-pulls. They exceeded all expectations on the night and eventually turned over 250!
Charlie and Peter then stood at the club's annual open day in October and sold light-pulls to those attending, resulting in £325 being raised. The club then decided to match fund this amount for the hospice charity.
At a recent workshop night St Barnabas Community Fund Raiser Fiona Malloch-Rear attended with her father and volunteer Jim Malloch, together with volunteer and club member Jim Ferguson to receive a cheque for £650 from club president Ann Giles, Charlie and Peter.
Light-pulls that have not been sold have also been donated to St Barnabas and will go on sale in their charity shops across the county.
