More than £3,500 was raised by The Wealden Business Group on Saturday (21 January) at a black tie dinner in aid of The Caldecott Foundation, the Smeeth-based charity which cares for young people who have suffered from cruelty and neglect.
The dinner, held at the Little Silver Country Hotel, Tenterden, was attended by 120 members and guests of WBG, who enthusiastically took part in an auction, raffle and fun casino.
They were welcomed by WBG chairman Chris Sturdy, while member Richard Harvey, who is also chairman of Caldecott’s centenary fundraising committee, told guests that the charity was raising £750,000 to build a vocational training centre and other facilities for older teenagers to help them into the workplace and supported adult living.
