The company also shared their amazement at the community's generosity, stating, "We were asked throughout the day 'how much do you think we've raised?' and we took a guess and said 'maybe £2,000' but how wrong we were!"

With great pride, EvaBuild revealed that the total amount raised during the charity match amounted to an impressive £4,623. This substantial sum will go towards supporting Macmillan and provide approximately 144 hours of crucial nursing care.

EvaBuild expressed heartfelt gratitude to all attendees, supporters, and contributors who helped make the fundraising event a resounding success.

The event served as a heartwarming demonstration of unity and community spirit, showcasing Newtown's commitment to coming together for meaningful causes.
