Ovacome and Teak Place were the two charities that benefited
from this year's Old Girls' Christmas Market at Bolton
School.
The festive evening, held at the School's Arts
Centre, which included mulled wine and mince-pies for
visitors, raised over £600 for charity. There were more
stalls than ever at this year's event with toys and clothes
for sale as well as jewellery, cosmetics, preserves, rich
chocolates, cakes, confectionery, seasonal floral arrangements,
cheeses and fine wines; visitors could even take advantage of a
special subscription to Lancashire Magazine.
Whilst shoppers picked up some great bargains and novel
Christmas presents and stocked up on food and beverage they also
raised funds through the raffle and the entry fee. All monies
made from the evening were split between Ovacome, a charity
supporting women and their families who are affected by ovarian
cancer and Teak Place, a charity working on behalf of the very poor
in South Africa.
