The event was sponsored by Hose Rhodes Dickson, Fidelity International, Find Us On Web, ICRTouch and Novum Law.
Joyce: Always overwhelmed at popularity of drive-in cinemas
Wessex Cancer Trust’s Regional Fundraiser, Laura Joyce, said,
“We’re so grateful to everyone who attended and donated at the weekend, we hope you had a great time! We’re always overwhelmed at the popularity of our drive-in cinemas and it was great to see everyone getting into the spirit of the event, we even had some cinema-goers arrive in full fancy dress!
“Most importantly, the fundraising total of £18,000 is massive and it will make a huge difference to Island families living with cancer. Thank you so much for supporting Wessex Cancer Trust – we hope to see you all again at our Christmas Drive In later this year.”
