The Royal Oak pub, Scotby thanked everybody who went to the celebration over the Easter weekend and raised money for CFM’s Cash 4 Kids, on social networks.
They said: “I simply wished to take a minute to state a huge thank you to all of our fantastic consumers.
“We had a lot enjoyable in the sun and were enjoyed have actually raised £300 for this wonderful charity.
“It warms our hearts to understand that regardless of all that’s been going on on the planet just recently, we can still come together and do something great for our neighborhood.”
After the occasion, Royal Oak owner Louise McPhee discussed why she picked to raise money for Cash 4 Kids and how the pub’s fundraising has actually developed from simply a ‘pot on the bar’.
“What I have actually performed in the past, I have actually selected Cash 4 Kids to be the charity due to the fact that I concur with it and it has actually assisted regional kids too.
“It is a mighty fine cause, the village has got lots of children and families in it so that is my thinking behind it, I have actually always supported it.”
“It started off when I first opened the pub I had a pot on the bar and it has actually gained momentum from there,” She said.
As well as Cash 4 Kids, Louise supports causes such as the Oak Tree Animal Charity with coffee mornings and a string of themed events, with the next penned in for the coronation of King Charles III.
Louise has also done all this despite the hardships of recent times, with the Covid-19 pandemic and the cost of living crisis impact, and propelled on by the support of the regional community.
She said: “They support me, they really do get behind me and it is amazing.
“For a local little town pub, it is just fab.
“They do not want to lose it and it is hard at the minute, it is really hard, it is soul destroying how expensive it is and I am working for basically nothing.
“I do it for the love and it would be terrible for this village to lose the again.
To say we are here and we are not going anywhere and assistance a regional charity is ace.”
