ADULT learning disability charity FACET received a major boost when it was handed two cheques totalling more than �1,000.
Fenland Area Community Enterprise Trust (FACET) received �900 from Andrew Pugh, the Worshipful Master of Stonecross Lodge in March, after he and his wife Silvia held a ladies’ night to raise money for charities.
The charity, which has shops in Chatteris and March, then received a �200 donation from members of Fenzone Youth Council who took part in a dance-a-thon led by Charlie Manders.
Both cheques will go towards Facet’s Marwick Centre Sensory Room which is available to people of all ages that have learning disabilities, physical disabilities and/or sensory impairment.
FACET has also received further good news after its application for funding under the East of England Community Grants programme was successful.
The money will be used to support a vocational training programme to help adults with learning disabilities improve their chances of progressing towards paid employment.
