A retired pub landlord and charity fundraiser was "over the moon" when a fellow licensee donated the proceeds of a regular charity quiz to his Children of War fund for Ukraine.
Tony Berry aims to raise £4,000 to cover van hire, diesel, and ferry tickets to transport donations of essentials like toiletries, baby milk, and non-perishable food stuffs to a refugee camp on the Polish-Ukrainian border. Landlord of the Lion Tavern on Moorfields, Dave Hardman, contacted Tony through a mutual friend after reading about his project on the ECHO website.
He said: "We host a charity quiz four time a year, with the proceeds going to Maggie’s Place on the Wirral. This time, as a one off, we thought they should go towards setting Tony on his way. We raised just over £500 this time, which he is very welcome to."
