RELEASE 'Social' effort for Peggy nets £2,350 Friends and colleagues of Wythenshawe Social Services worker Peggy Walker held a social hoping to raise £1,000 in her memory. Instead, the event at Wythenshawe's Shell Sports & Social Club, was so well supported that they received £2,348 which is being split equally between the 'Christie's' appeal and the Rainbow Family Trust. "Peggy was very well known in Wythenshawe and the support we received for the social was just fantastic," explained co-support worker Tracey Wheatman. Peggy had been treated at The Christie, Manchester's famous cancer centre before she died, as had Mrs Frances Hamer, mother of another member of the Wythenshawe team Suzanne Deegan. So, joined by colleagues Carole Slater, Angie Ray and Justine Holt, Tracy and Suzanne organised a charity fun night in their memory. "The club provided the disc jockey and the food. People paid £3.50 a ticket and supported football tickets and raffle and a great auction which included signed footballs from both Manchester City and United," added Tracey. Ends For further
