Lots of activities were set up including guess the age of the tortoise, face painting, a barbecue, children’s games and a raffle.

“Lots of people came throughout the time the event was held.”
The fun day raised £1,231 for Scope. The money will go towards refurbishing the sensory room at the charity’s Fitzalan Howard Day Centre.
The room provides somewhere for disabled people to relax but is in need of an update.
