Croydon wheelchair charity receives funding boost
Funds raised from the South Norwood Arts Festival have been handed to a charity supporting the disabled.
Community group People for Portland Road, who helped organise the festival, held in June this year, donated £300 to Wheels for Wellbeing on Saturday.
The charity runs twice weekly sessions at Croydon Arena, South Norwood, training and helping disabled people to cycle.
Fundraiser Janet Baker, from People for Portland Road, said: "We are so pleased that the support of local people has enabled us to make this donation to a charity which works in our area supporting disabled people.
"It makes all the hard work by volunteers that goes into organising South Norwood Arts Festival that bit more worthwhile."
