Race Night Raises Over £1100 for Halifax Society for the Blind!

The Race Night on Saturday, 26th October, was a tremendous success!

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Northowram Social Club for hosting this fantastic fundraising event. The evening brought together supporters of the Halifax Society for the Blind (HSB) for an exciting night of racing, food, and fun, all for a great cause.

Guests enjoyed a lively atmosphere, placing their bets and cheering on their chosen horses. A delicious pie and pea supper was included with each ticket, ensuring everyone was well-fed while supporting a meaningful cause.

We were incredibly fortunate to have the support of our generous sponsors: Caravan Guard, Andrew Lomas Opticians, Mackereth Opticians, Brief Encounters, BPI Assets, Paul Ashton Electrical, and Deiniol Williams Ceramics, who all sponsored our races.

Additionally, we extend a huge thank you to those who donated raffle prizes, including Marks and Spencer, New Lodge Fisheries, Yates, Good Karma Coffee House, Electric Bowl, Czerwiks, Enchanted Tea Garden, Hebask Yorkshire, and Huddersfield Town Football Club. Their contributions helped make the night even more special!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of everyone involved, we raised an amazing £1115!

This is a massive step towards enhancing our technology studio, a valuable resource that empowers our visually impaired members to read their mail, access the internet with assistive technology, develop new skills, and explore entertainment options independently.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, sponsored, or donated. Your support makes a real difference in the lives of those we serve. Stay tuned for more upcoming events—we can’t wait to see you all again soon!
