ON FRIDAY, January 8, WADE held a festive draw in its 150 Club lottery.

The draw aims to help replace lost finances as a result of coronavirus cancelling many of its fundraising activities.

The centre, on Reading Road, provides daycare facilities for the borough’s older residents, including hot lunches, entertainment and resources.

Held monthly, there are three prizes for the draw. The more people who join the 150 Club, the greater the prizes.

First prize was £128, and went to member number 55. Second prize was £64 was given to member 19. And the third prize was £32 and awarded to 83.

A spokesperson for WADE said: “Congratulations to the three lucky winners.
