Sainsburys Collection - Sun 22nd Dec 2019

Members of the Rotary Club of Ingatestone (RCOI) raised £2,107 for Macmillan Cancer Support during a six-hour collection yesterday at Sainsbury’s, Springfield.

This is the first time the Club has held its Christmas collection on a Sunday, rather than a Saturday, and we are very pleased with the excellent result, which means RCOI has raised just under £28,000 since starting these collections in 2008.

Thanks go to Ron Elliston, Marel's husband, for liaising with MCS & Sainsburys and organinsing the collection. Thanks to all those volunteers who did 2 hour shifts collecting, but special thanks to our two Santa's, Tony Stringer of RC Chelmsford Rivermead and Ingatestone member Andrew Clarkson [ who deserved a medal by doing 2 shifts] 

MCS commented:- "What an amazing email to receive, that is a truly incredible amount of money. I really hope that you and the team are pleased with your hard work. On behalf of everyone at Macmillan Cancer Support thank you so very much for all of your dedication and the difference that you will make to those in our community that need our support is incredible so thank you very much."
