During their Mayoral year, immediate past Bridlington Mayor, Cllr Rick Arrand and his wife Mayoress Mrs Kim Arrand have held many events to raise
money for their choses charities over the past civic year.
Events included race nights, kindly hosted by the Sefton Hotel, Golf days held at the Bridlington Links Golf Club, raffles at formal events such as the annual Civic Dinner which was outstanding success and this year perfectly hosted by the Belvedere Golf Club.
The Mayoress organised and held a weekend of delicious afternoon teas with thanks to Lisa and Natalie at Tiffin & Tart.
With thanks to the local community organisations and businesses of Bridlington we were inundated with fantastic prizes which were donated to
various raffles and the total amount of money raised was an incredible £5,400.
This is to be divided between the Mayors charities for 2024 – 2025: The Kingfisher Café who work endlessly to
support the homeless and vulnerable of Bridlington and the surrounding area and to Right Minds Dementia Support Group who are a wonderful
group of peers who work tirelessly to support people living with dementia and their own support network, each
receiving £2,500.
Mayor Cllr Rick has been so successful in his fund raising that they have smashed their target enabling them to donate £400 to the Spotlight Theatre to help fund their monthly showings of
dementia friendly films.
