Micropub in Peterborough praised for donating hundreds to city charity supporting young care-leavers
Prolific pint-pullers and fundraisers at a micropub in Peterborough have been praised for their latest donation to a good cause in the city.
Wonky Donkey micropub, in Fletton, recently handed over £500 to The Christmas Dinner Peterborough – a project providing a festive lunch, gifts and support to young care leavers.
The money was raised at the pub’s regular quiz nights and through a donations box.
Volunteers Kathy Markley and Chris Cooper from the charity visited the pub recently to collect a big cheque from the landlord Dave Williams.
A spokesperson for the charity said: “The Christmas Dinner Peterborough is built on community. This donation from The Wonkey Donkey and their patrons will go a long way to securing another amazing Christmas Day for young care leavers across Peterborough and Cambridgeshire who might otherwise spend Christmas alone.
“Support like this is what makes our event possible and showcases what we can do when the community comes together.
They added: “Dave has already offered further support to run a gift donation drive nearer the time, and other patrons at the quiz have offered their support for food donations for the dinner. We are so grateful for all their support."
