Families and four-legged friends help raise almost £900 for charity at Banbury fun day and dog show
Families and their four-legged companions helped raise almost £900 for mental health charity Oxfordshire Mind at a fun-filled community event in Banbury.
The fun day and dog show was organised by DJMD Events and held at The Spencer Clubhouse at Banbury United on Sunday, May 31.
It featured a packed programme of fun activities, including a dog show, live entertainment, craft stalls, games and family attractions.
The dog show, put on by Dogs For Good, raised £100 for the Banbury dog training charity, and a total of £770 was raised for local mental health charity, Oxfordshire Mind through various games and stalls.
Children in attendance particularly enjoyed the special appearance of Rumi from Twinkle Rose Princess Parties, who performed several K-pop hits.
The surprise foam party, face painting, glitter tattoos and fairground rides also proved popular with younger guests.
Organisers have thanked the many local businesses, stallholders and volunteers who supported the event through donations and fundraising efforts.
Dale Sykes from DJMD Events said: “Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone that turned up to the Banbury United FC The Spencer Clubhouse Fun Day. We hope you had as much fun as we did.
“A huge thanks to all our stall holders and businesses, including Croft Pet Foods Ltd, JaneyHfit, Paper and Pixel, Bradbury’s of Banbury, Vik and Roo Party Hire, Victoria Elkington, Five Akhis, Caprinos Pizza, PawPaw and Tesco for attending and for your kind donations to the raffle and tombola.
“Also, a massive thanks to my helpers Kim, Mary and Katy on the day; you were amazing, as well as country singer Sally White for performing with us.”
