Firework Cash for Havens
 

A kind donation of £5000 to Havens Hospices will mean the charity can buy extra vital equipment for the patients and
children it looks after. The Southend Round Table 106 handed over the cheque which will be used to purchase five
syringe drivers. These are a small battery powered device that is able to administer medication at a designated amount
per hour.

"The money was raised at the Round Table's firework display in November at Shoebury East beach called The
Big Beach Bang. Richard Metcalf was last year's Community Service Chairman. He says, 'Around 9000
 people attended the event, and we stressed that any money raised goes back into local charities such as
Havens Hospices. We are delighted to hand over this money which we know will make such a difference to
 the patients and children
"
