Charity motorbike show raises raises £1,116 for CHSW
A charity bike show has raised more than £1,000 for Children’s Hospice South West.
Scores of bike enthusiasts packed into St Peter’s Church, Lawrence Weston, Bristol, for the event – organised by the Christian Motorcyclists Association (CMA) and now in its second year.
The family friendly show saw bikers from across the Bristol area as well as further afield showcase their machines and there were motorbike related stalls, face painting, a bouncy castle, barbecue and a café selling cakes and cream teas made by hospice volunteer Jenny Padfield.
There was also music during the day, including a DJ.
This year’s show raised £1116.29 for Children’s Hospice South West. Remaining items of bike kit on the stalls will be donated to the charity and sold through its shops.
CHSW Area Fundraiser Amanda Leonard said: “We are delighted the CMA has chosen to support Children’s Hospice South West again this year with its annual bike show.
“It has been a joy to work alongside the organisation and to see the event grow in popularity.
“It is a wonderful event that helps to raise much needed funds and raise awareness of the special work that is delivered.
“The event raised a huge amount of money for the charity and a figure like that will go a very long way to helping local families.”
