At their Halloween Party they raised £595.71 for the Rockinghorse Children’s Charity Appeal.

During the last month they raised a further £1,100 to buy a defibrillator for the bar. It will be registered with the local ambulance service so if anyone has a heart attack in the vicinity of the pub and dials 999 they get sent to the pub to get the defibrillator and can start using it on the victim before the ambulance arrives on the scene.

The money for the defibrillator was raised with a personal donation of £600 from one of their regular customers Vernon Morash and his partner Roger, a £200 donation from Robert Beveridge the owner of the Grosvenor and the rest was raised from a raffle at the bar.
