The friends have also thanked key sponsors Limewood Conversions and Extensions and The Tri Store, in Grove Road, for the donation of a £300 bike for the raffle. Many other businesses and individuals supported the event by donating raffle prizes.

Matched fundraising through a community charity scheme run by Barclays Bank, where two key PTFA members work, helped boost the total.

Barclays Matched Funding offers a maximum matching of money raised to £1,000 per employee.
