Easter Saturday 2021

Saturday 3rd April 2021 was the second Easter Saturday in lockdown. Despite all the doom and gloom in the world, the team decided that they still wated to support a local charity/good cause. This year the team chose the WaterWell Foundation CIC, a mental wellbeing and suicide prevention charity based in Rossendale.
Despite the lockdown restrictions across the UK the team held a ‘virtual’ Easter Saturday that consisted of live feeds of the route, team members sat in gardens ragged up and members of Stacksteads Band played the iconic ‘Nut Dance’ at various locations throughout the day.
Even though the UK, along with the rest of the world are battling the Coronavirus, the team managed to raise a grand total of £800.00 via online donations that were received gratefully from places as far at Australia and donations received in cash via our street collections from the great people of the Rossendale Valley. From all the team, thank-you for your generous donations!
The WaterWell Foundation CIC was presented with the Cheque on Sunday 11th February 2021. Tracy and Lia who spear head the WaterWell Foundation CIC, were very grateful and overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone who donated. They explained how the donation will be spent on providing more services and activates after receiving an increase in calls following our East Saturday campaign.
Again, form all the members of The Britannia Coconut Dancers of Bacup, a massive thank you for your donations!
