Children's activity centre will receive monies taken from criminals at Liverpool Crown Court
Thousands of pounds in ill-gotten cash seized from drug dealers will be given to a children's activity centre.
Since the start of last year, Liverpool Crown Court has handed over monies taken from criminals to a charity of the month as part of Operation Payback. The selected good cause for October will be the Barnstondale Centre in Barnston, Wirral. It provides outdoor education and activity sessions for schools, groups and disability groups. Fundraising and communications manager Siobhan Waters told the ECHO: "Our charity mission is to breakdown barriers to outdoor education for all children, regardless of their background."Money raised from the Liverpool Crown Court will be put towards our bursary scheme, which part funds children’s places to Barnstondale.
"Since the downturn in the economy, all children are needing our support and requests for our bursary scheme have increased by nearly 300%. We are therefore having to fundraise more to raise funds for the 1500-plus children that need our support to help bridge the gap." The funds that will be given to August's charity, the LFC Foundation, have meanwhile been calculated at a total of £7,984.32. The cash will go towards its Kicks project.
