THE 2023 summer music festival in Ben Rhydding - Pat's Party - smashed last year’s record - raising over £11,000 for Save the Children and local food banks in Bradford and Keighley.
Ben Rhydding Scout and Guide Group also received a donation in recognition of the great work they do all year round, and the support they provide for the party itself.
“The money donated will help us provide invaluable support to children and families in the Keighley area at a time when we have seen levels of poverty and genuine hardship increase markedly,” said Penny Southgate, Community Manager at the Salvation Army in Keighley on receipt of a cheque for £2,400 from the 2023 event.
The Pat's Party committee thank the community for supporting the event in great numbers, and their sponsors, including lead sponsor Harrison Robinson estate agents, Ben Rhydding.
