The Friends of Winckley Square group donated £2,809 in ticket sales to Preston Red Cross to help with the relief effort 👏WinckleySquare

After advertising Susan’s three talks, FoWS decided the ticket proceeds would also go to the cause. They delivered the trilogy over three sessions at the Central Methodist Church, and each had an audience of well over 100, many of whom attended all three.

The total came to £2,809. It included donations from some who could not attend but wished to support the cause and from a local company, Business Utilities Group.The British Red Cross has a Preston base and works to support Ukrainian refugee children in Lancashire, so they donated the funds to the local team – received on their behalf by Wonder Phiri.

Patricia Harrison, the chair of FoWS, said that the response to Susan’s talk was overwhelmingly positive, with many asking when she would be offering another. Susan is working on ‘A Victorian Christmas’. It is based on the lives of those who lived in the Winckley Quarter in the 19th century.It will take place on 8 December at 2pm at Central Methodist Church, Lune Street, Preston.
