“These events have been started to raise money to put on events next year for local charities. As funding is no longer available from councillors and ELDC, we have to raise the money ourselves by selling pitches for stallholders.
“We would like to have our own stalls as stallholders prefer them to pasting tables,but that would cost us £900 for 12 stalls. If anyone can help us out with a donation for them we would be very grateful.”
Line and Learn social group teaches life skills such as sewing, gardening and craft work.
