The donation was the proceeds from 41 Club’s charity night, held in December, at the rugby club. The amount raised was split between the talking news and Sparks. Mary Grunwell’s son Dominic is the chairman of 41 Club and his wife Nicky works for Sparks. The 41 club chairman selects his chosen charities to support throughout his chairmanship year. The talking news is a completely volunteer-run organisation which provides weekly recorded local news to blind and visually-impaired listeners, and they also record a bi-monthly magazine.
