Littlehampton mayor’s market stall fund-raiser

On Friday (June 15), Emma took over the community stall at the weekly market in the town’s pedestrian precinct, to raise funds for her mayoral charities, CancerWise and Home-Start Arun.

With her partner Darren Merrett and friend Andy Wilkinson, she sold plants, cakes and other treats, bringing in a total of £240.

A few days earlier, Emma held her “Jubilicious” event at the Vardar restaurant and club in Selborne Road, Littlehampton.

Among the 70 people attending the diamond jubilee-themed cream tea were Arun District Council chairman Bill Smee and her husband Bill, and other town and district councillors.

There was musical entertainment for the afternoon, by Collage, and a magical performance by Steve Legg for the children.

A total of £400 was raised for the charities.

Emma said: “I would like to say a big thank-you to Peter, Loretta and their family at the Vardar for putting on such a lovely afternoon, to the entertainers and to the many local businesses who donated prizes for the raffle.”
