A FUNDRAISING night at Southports Floral Hall raised funds for The Sick Childrens Trust. More than 300 guests attended the charity night organised by Lindsay Singleton in memory of her brother Jamie who died at the end of last year. The Sick Childrens Trust helped the family, providing them with accommodation in the grounds of the hospital and giving support and counselling.
