The Harvester are making wishes come true throughout August

This Saturday, 15th August, marked the third event for Harvester’s fundraising events for The Make A Wish Foundation. The staff donned their uniform-themed outfits and entertained the visitors while they dined. Their aim is to raise £800 by the end of August. We spoke to the manager Lisa.

The Harvester’s previous events have included a Country and Western theme night: staff dressed up as saloon girls and cowboys to name but a few, and there were children’s cowboy hats available to purchase. All proceeds were donated to the Foundation and will be again this year. They also held a cake sale. Claire Halton, who works at The Harvester, told us “staff cooked or provided cakes and cookies for customers to purchase. There was face painting available for the children. This proved to be a lovely day for the whole family, though desserts weren’t popular on this day… I can’t think why not! Everyone had a wonderful day and we are hoping this year will be just as much fun; along with funds being raised for the Make A Wish Foundation“.

Claire continued: “Make A Wish Foundation is such a fantastic charity. The Harvester set a target of £800 to raise and they are half-way to this target right now. It would be brilliant to see some new faces showing support, and you will get fed well at the same time. We are raising money throughout August, so if people can come down and make a donation, this would be greatly appreciated”.

All of the staff and management team have put time and effort into organising and carrying out these events and are proud to be doing this for Make A Wish Foundation.

Why not release yourself from the shackles of the kitchen and take a trip down there tonight?! You won’t regret it!
