Members of Radstock Working Men's Club presented a cheque of £1,000 last week to Malcolm Simmons, uncle to Harmonie-Rose Allen, after members undertook several fundraising events in aid of his niece.

In particular, member, Rob Huggett, took part in a charity head shave to help raise money for the toddler, who, after being diagnosed with meningitis in September, underwent life-saving surgery to remove her limbs and the tip of her nose. Harmonie is beginning her recovery and the Hope 4 Harmonie fund, set up in her name to provide her with the equipment she would need post-surgery, stands at over £100,000, with more donations still to come in. The target is £250k.

Members of Radstock Working Men's Club teamed up with local traders to hold a raffle and an auction to raise money alongside Rob's head shave. The club would particularly like to thank Lilley's Cider Company, who donated several items for the auction.
