Everyone at the NWAA would like to thank all our members for helping us raise an incredible £2,500 for our chosen charity, Sue Ryder.

The funds have been raised thanks to the our annual charity ball which took place late last year at the Lowry Hotel, Manchester. The cheque handed over to Sue Ryder this week is the first instalment to be presented to the charity, with the second later in the year.

Sue Ryder, based at Cuerden Hall near Bamber Bridge, provides care to people living with conditions such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, brain injury, Huntington’s disease and stroke-related illness in the region.
