News and Events

GMB Parkgate branch organised a golf day in aid of Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice. The golf day was sponsored by GMB Yorkshire region, Pellacraft, Thompson Solicitors and Tata Speciality Steels, with prizes donated by a number of individuals and local golf clubs.

Howard Webb presented the prizes and, in his opening comments, paid tribute to our hard working members in care homes. A cheque was presented to Julie Hampson from Bluebell Wood for over £3,320. This was increased by a raffle, football card and auction. The final amount has to be calculated but is expected to be around £4,000. Many thanks to all sponsors, donators and competitors.

Thanks also to all those who contributed to the bucket collection, held by the region at this year’s Congress and to the CEC for making the collection up to £1,400.00.
