“It was a real honour for me to visit the Foyle Down Syndrome Trust offices and present them with a cheque for £55,885. I set out at the start of my term to try and raise as much money as I could, while also giving the members of the Trust memories that will hopefully last them a lifetime,” said Alderman Warke.
“Everyone dug deep into their pockets and donated so generously. I would also like to thank everyone who helped me plan and deliver our fundraising events – without them we wouldn’t have been able to raise such an incredible amount. This money will go a long way in helping the Trust to continue the fantastic work that they do.”
