GENEROUS stallholders dug deep when the Mayor of Oldham took a fundraising trolley dash at Oldham’s Tommyfield Market.
Councillor Ateeque Ur-Rehman visited the market to collect a mass of items donated as raffle prizes for this year’s Mayor’s Ball a week on February 26 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall.
Oldham philanthropist Sir Norman Stoller has promised to match all funds raised during the raffle for this year’s chosen charities — The Christie at Oldham, ACE Centre North, Dr Kershaw’s Hospice, and The Action Oldham Fund.
