PROSPECT Hospice has thanked the mayor of Royal Wootton Bassett, Mike Leighfield, and James Huynh, owner of the Oriental Aroma, for helping to raise £6,200 through various initiatives over the past few months.

A spokesperson for the hospice said: “These two fantastic fundraisers hosted a charity dinner at the Oriental Aroma at which 115 local people enjoyed a dinner donated by James and entertainment by well-known local jazz musician Frank Abrams.

“Guests raised further funds for us through a raffle, an auction of promises and other initiatives, raising £3,700 on the night.

“James also raised money by opening his restaurant to local schools in February as part of Chinese New Year celebrations. The children were given a two course meal, taught how to use chopsticks and educated on the Chinese New Year, for a donation to Prospect. The scheme raised over £6,000 for Prospect in the process.”
