WIRRAL ARK & WESTMINSTER ASSOCIATES FUNDRAISER Paul Thompson, Director of Westminster Associates held a joint 50th Birthday party and Charity fundraiser for Wirral Ark at The Little Fox, Thornton Hough on Saturday 8th June 2019. Paul Thompson said: "My 50th Birthday seemed the perfect occasion to start our fundraising for the Wirral Ark Simply Come (Dirty) Dancing event on the 16th November at the Titanic hotel. What better way to make yourself accountable for losing weight and starting your fitness regime in readiness to be one of the amateur dancers, than to announce it to 150+ people." "It was also a great opportunity to ask people to put their hands in their pockets in lieu of Birthday gifts and donate to this really great cause. And I am pleased to confirm that to date, we have already raised over £1,500. "Thanks to David Burgess, our fantastic magician, ASG Entertainments for our audio visual support and to Carl Littler our DJ for his great tunes. Copeland Group Services provided our very chilled door guys. Huge appreciation to David Green and his fantastic team at the The Little Fox – I have had nothing but excellent feedback on the venue, staff and food. I can't recommend any of these guys highly enough if you have events planned. "And last but by no means least, thank you to each and every one of you who came on the night and donated and to everyone who plans to come to the event itself. We are the Wirral, we are a proud community and we are the Borough of Culture 2019. I am proud and humbled to have you as my family, friends and supporters." 78 wirrallife.com
