St George’s Day party raises almost £200 for charity

11Residents at Tower Hamlets Community Housing’s (THCH’s) St George’s Day party raised a fantastic £185 during a charity raffle supporting THCH Estate Cleaner, Peter Harrison, who was running the London Marathon on 24 April in aid of St Joseph’s Hospice.

The party, held on the Queen’s 90th birthday on 21 April, sponsored by local contractor J C Coster (Metal Works) Ltd, and was held at the Tarling East Community Centre in Shadwell and attended by approximately 120 guests.

THCH’s Community Development Manager, Andy Coleborn said “ Each April we mark St George’s Day and this year it was great seeing so many of our older residents enjoy a fish and chip lunch before spending the afternoon dancing away”.
