A charity meal held last week in Colwick has raised a whopping £1,671 for a leading homeless charity.
Steven Summerby organised the event in at the village’s community centre to help boost the total he hopes to raise this year for The Big Issue Foundation.
Over 80 people from the local community, including Mayor of Gedling Sandra Barnes, turned out last Wednesday to enjoy a two-course buffet and entertainment provided by a local school X-Factor winner. They also danced the night away at a 70s disco which took place after the meal and swelled the charity coffers by taking part in an auction.
Steven, who also runs a local catering business, has already started raising money for the cause by pledging to cycle from London to Paris early in 2017.
He plans to start training shortly.
He told Gedling Eye: “All I need to know is stop smoking and the drinking and start training.”
