Have a flutter at a charity race night and support a dream to bring all of the area’s voluntary services under one umbrella.

Sid Valley HELP, which aims to fill in the gaps in the health sector, needs to raise £60,000 by April. The Race Night will be held at All Saints Church Hall, on Saturday, October 20, from 6.30pm until 10pm.

Tickets are £12 and include a curry supper, but bring your own drink.

Di Fuller, chairman of Sid Valley HELP said: “We hope that the Race Night will be a lot of fun and a good fundraiser. Come along and bring loads of friends.”

There are eight races, each with eight horses running. Companies and groups can sponsor a race for £25 and advertise on the race cards, or anyone can buy a horse for £5 which would increase their return if the horse wins.

Call 07786 816890 or 07970 814568 for details or visit sidvalleyhelp.org.uk or pop into the Leigh Brown Room, at Unitarian Church on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 10am and noon.
