Bingo & Quiz Fundraiser
July 2023
The Purple Sunflower Project held its first dedicated fundraiser in August 2023, and we were very pleased to welcome the die-hard fans of bingo from Llangeinor. Dawn Evans, CEO of the Ajuda Foundation discovered her calling in life – pun intended! – as she called the numbers on the night in her own unique style, provoking much laughter and merriment. Tom Evans, our volunteer MC took charge of the quiz and all in all, a great night was had by all, raising just over £100 for the Purple Sunflower Project.
