A CHARITY which was hit by thieves who stole its Christmas party fund earlier this year is holding an event to try to recoup some of the stolen money. Hundreds of pounds were stolen when opportunist thieves stole money from a cash box at the WRVS Russell Centre in Hyde Road in May. The money was to pay for a Christmas party for the many elderly people who use the centre and, despite police investigations, the money was never recovered.
The centre is now hosting a table sale on Saturday October 4 to try and boost the coffers. It starts at 10am and people can book tables on Eastbourne 412279. The cost is ВЈ6 for a small table and ВЈ10 for a large one. There will be free entry to buyers and the Community CafГ© will be selling bacon and sausage butties.
