On Sunday 8th December, Toll Gavel Methodist Church held an afternoon of entertainment and refreshments to raise funds for their nominated charity Beverley Community Lift.

The event was due to run alongside Beverley’s Festival of Christmas, alas, due to very adverse weather conditions, the outside market stall event was cancelled the day before. Toll Gavel volunteers and supporters, benefitting from an indoor venue and being made of sterner stuff, decided to continue with their plans and by combining sales of their Charity Christmas card to the amount raised on the day presented the charity with a cheque for over £500.

Sally Knapp & Elaine Turner, key organisers of the event, said “While the day may not have been quite as we intended, we are very proud of our volunteers, congregation, and members of the public for their support and delighted to give Beverley Community Lift this money.”

Fiona Wales, Manager of Beverley Community Lift, says:

"As a small, local charity we rely on help and support from the community, and every penny raised is always very gratefully received as it enables us continue to deliver our much needed services. The money from Toll Gavel Church will be added to our replacement minibus fund to help us provide shopping trips and outings for our passengers for many years to come.”

Beverley Community Lift remains committed to building a more inclusive and connected community, one ride at a time.

Grand Draw Winners

Thank you to everyone who took part, supported, and volunteered at our recent 24-hour Sing-a-thon, in conjunction with Leconfield Community Choir. We raised an amazing £3,700 which will go to our replacement minibus fund. Much of the money raised came from people buying tickets for our grand prize draw, below are the details of the lucky winners.

We're Hiring!

We are looking for an outgoing, proactive and enthusiastic, part-time marketing co-ordinator to support the delivery of the charity’s marketing strategy.

Meet our new bus Tulip

It’s not every day that we receive a gift worth more than £35,000, and the generosity shown by an East Yorkshire commercial vehicle business has given us the crucial boost we were very much longing for.

A big thank you

We have recently been very fortunate to receive funding from different parts of our local community. We were voted for by Tesco customers to receive £4,000 in the Tesco Bags for Help scheme, customers of Beverley Building Society have voted for us for two months running resulting in £500, and we have also received a grant of £5,000 from the Masonic Charitable Fund.
