Budding artists draw on their fund-raising skills

Sylvia Milojevic adds intricate detail to her still-life piece.

FUND-RAISING efforts brought more than a touch of artistic flair to Springhead Community Centre as budding artists united to raise funds for the British Polio Fellowship.

Organiser Gill Lees, of Huddersfield Road, Austerlands, caught the disease in 1956 when she was 11.

She said: “The workshop was great and, along with a tapas evening I organised, we managed to raise over £700.”
