THE CHAIRMAN of Wyre Forest District Council has raised more than £3,000 for the British Heart Foundation (BHF) during his term of office which ran from last May to this month.
Coun John Byng presented the funds to Zoe Roberts, a representative of the BHF, following a host of fundraising activities during the past 12 months.
The main ones included The Chairman’s Quiz held at St George’s Hall in Bewdley and the Chairman’s Ball which was held in conjunction with the Chairman of Worcestershire County Council, Coun Tracey Onslow.
Coun Byng said: “I’m really pleased to be handing over a cheque for £3,173 as I know how important donations are to the foundation.”
Zoe, from The British Heart Foundation Kidderminster branch, said: “It is only through donations and fundraising like this that the BHF can fund advances in research that will get us closer than ever to a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases.”
Coun Byng represents the Wribbenhall and Arley Ward on Wyre Forest District Council.
