ON Saturday afternoon Silsden Town Band played at the Bandstand in aid of Martin House Children’s Hospice and a collection and raised £187. There was an appreciative audience and the sun shone – a lovely afternoon!

Ilkley Friends of Martin House would like to thank the Band for their support and for those who donated to this worthy cause.

The Ilkley Friends are the local fundraising group for the Hospice and would welcome anyone who would like to join their group. For further information please contact Pam Ravenscroft on (01943) 817773 for a friendly chat.
