PROCEEDS from this year’s Riddlesden Gala are helping the hungry at Christmas.
The gala committee has given some of the proceeds from the summer event to the Salvation Army to support its food bank.
The committee gave £1,300 to the Salvation Army this month, following a £2,000 donation to Haworth Riding for the Disabled.
Salvation Army spokesman Chris Bown said: “The Riddlesden Gala committee donation is fantastic and very much appreciated.”
The gala committee spend all year planning the event in a bid to benefit the entire community.
Hundreds of people gathered at Riddlesden St Mary’s Primary School last summer for the 31st annual gala.There was a traditional procession from the Marquis of Granby pub to the school, led by the City of Bradford Pipe Band including local Brownies and Cub Scouts.
