Ex-Mayor's £48k boost for charity

TWO city charities are celebrating a major financial boost thanks to the funding efforts of Stoke-on-Trent's former Lord Mayor.

During the 12 months Councillor Lyn Sharpe was in office, she raised more than £48,000 for her chosen charities: Period Power and Emmaus North Staffs.

They have now been awarded an equal share of councillor Sharpe's fundraising efforts.

These included the Over the Rainbow charity celebration at the King's Hall, a barn dance, a St Patrick's Day party, a bingo night and a dance evening.

She said: "I have had the time of my life over the last 12 months. I have had some wonderful experiences, met some amazing people and raised a lot of money for my nominated charities. It's been exhausting but brilliant.
