The Mayor and Mayoress Ray and Elaine Dutton attended the PossAbilities’ Cherwell Wellbeing Hub annual fundraising event on Saturday (6 August).
Over £2,000 was raised as over 1,000 people attended the event in Heywood, which had donkey rides, a fairground and a petting farm available to entertain children.
Car boot sales, various stalls, fair rides, Skylight Circus and Heywood Tanks were also on site in order to help raise money for the social enterprise, not for profit organisation.
Jane Holland, who works at the Cherwell Wellbeing Hub, said: “This was our third year doing the event and the most successful one yet. We’re a community interest, social enterprise organisation.
“All the money raised will go back into the enterprise to provide activities and services for people with learning and physical disabilities and those suffering from mental health problems.
“The petting farm and Heywood Tanks seemed to go down really well.
PossAbilities is co-owned by staff and service users and delivers innovative, integrated and person centred services to vulnerable people.
