Charity event raises 'staggering' total to help child schooling
Elizabeth Barker's charity bridge tournament this month raised an astonishing £1,626 for the Street Child, which will help more children across sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East to get access to education.
The event, directed by Martin Renshaw at Cheltenham Bridge Club, attracted the maximum of 72 players with another two donating but being unable to come.
Zac Hussain, a director of Street Child, thanked Elizabeth saying the amount raised was staggering and that it would provide learning materials, uniforms and dignity kits to enable children to return to the classroom, provide remote-based learning methods for others, and provide families with livelihood support.
