There were belly dancers, classic cars and more at a cherished Letchworth social centre’s open day at the weekend.
The Howard Garden Social and Day Care Centre, off Norton Way South, opened its doors for the fundraising day on Saturday.
Organiser Liz Allen told the Comet: “It was a really good fun day – the classic cars were a good call.
“We managed to raise £512 on the day, with more through the week. Loads of people came along to support us, there must have been more than 100.
“The best thing was all the different entertainment we had – with belly dancers, singers and other local talent there.
“Our next big event is going to be the Christmas fair in November, with Father Christmas, stalls and cakes and all sorts going on as well.”
The team are still totting up the total raised during the whole week, which will go towards running the centre.
The centre has been running since 1953, and is an independent charity that provides companionship, hot meals and activities.
