110 customers attended including Architects, clients, developers, contractors and sub-contractors, the event was co-sponsored by Michelmersh Brick.
LBT choose a charity for the evening and raised money by asking people to donate £1 for every STRIKE that they bowl. This year they asked Neil from Cara Brickwork to choose a charity close to his heart, after the tragic year that him and his family have been through.
Neil has set up a CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) Memorial fund in his daughters name https://www.c-r-y.org.uk/liv-gow/.
Every week in the UK at least 12 young people die of undiagnosed heart conditions. Since its formation in 1995, Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) has been working to reduce the frequency of young sudden cardiac death (YSCD). CRY supports young people diagnosed with potentially life-threatening cardiac conditions and offers bereavement support to families affected by YSCD. CRY promotes and develops heart screening programmes and funds medical research. CRY publishes and distributes medical information written by leading cardiologists for the general public. CRY funds specialist referral, screening and cardiac pathology services at leading UK hospitals.
With the addition of a special LFC Hospitality prize donated by Cara Brickwork, we managed to raise £1,200 on the evening (including a donation of £250.00 from Ryan at ECR).
Being part of the Brickability Group, they have the ‘Brickability Charitable Foundation’ which helps causes globally, including tackling such issues as debt and slave labour, and also invests much needed funds into communities around factories of interest.
The Foundation have kindly pledged to double our figure, to give a grand total of £2,400 for the evening, for this very worthy cause.
We would like to thank everyone who donated on the night once again.
