Hobbs Court cook up funds for St John Ambulance

Residents of Hobbs Court sheltered housing scheme, managed by Stevenage Homes, used their culinary skills to help raise hundreds of pounds for St John Ambulance by holding a charity BBQ.

Elaine Quinn, supported housing officer at Hobbs Court said,
‘Residents invited family and friends, the sun shone down and the event turned out to be a huge success. We would like to say a big thank you to Stevenage Family Butchers at The Oval, for donating the delicious food, which proved very popular.’

In total Hobbs Court managed to raise £344. 18 for St John Ambulance which was handed over to the charity this week (24 August).

Brian Wingate, County Executive Officer for St John Ambulance Hertfordshire said: ‘We are extremely grateful to the residents, staff, friends and family of Hobbs Court for the BBQ they held to support our charity. They raised a very generous sum of money and we will ensure it is put to good use across the county to help us to continue to provide first aid to the people of Hertfordshire.

St John Ambulance receives no Government funding, and is not part of the NHS, so we really do rely on the goodwill of our local communities to fundraise on our behalf.  We would like to say a big thank you to everyone at Hobbs Court for all their effort that went into this fundraising event.’
