Kings Langley residents recently raised more than £1,000 in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).
Locals organised and attended a karaoke and disco night at Kings Langley Services Club on Saturday, August 17, to support the children’s hospital.
The night included fun activities, including piano-oke, and a variety of raffle prizes to be won.
Resident Martin Smith organised the raffle in collaboration with a range of small local businesses, including Dalling & Co and Froxx.
Martin’s daughter, Georgina, underwent heart surgery at GOSH on Monday, July 15. Though she is still recovering, Georgina also attended the event last month.
Bob Best, who organised the event, took to social media to praise the hospital and the residents who donated.
He said: “It’s a bit of a tough time for people at the moment, so to raise that sort of money is some achievement.”
Bob, whose daughter also underwent treatment at GOSH, presented the cheque to the hospital on Thursday, August 22.
He is continuing to fundraise for the hospital and, as a musician, he has also pledged to donate 10 per cent of every gig fee to GOSH.
