Baked beans bath brings in a bucketful!

Community Housing staff member Jeremy was full of beans at our Arts & Crafts Centre as he celebrated a memorable effort to raise money for a good cause. 

Jeremy, a staff member at Henshaws Community Housing, sank into a bath full of baked beans to raise money for a memorial bench in honour of Mark Porrit, who lived in a Henshaws community house and tragically died at the start of this year.

Louise Ashton, marketing and communications manager at Henshaws, said: “The celebration was fantastic – Jeremy was very brave to take the plunge and art makers, staff members and visitors were more than happy to keep the bath overflowing!

“We are very grateful to Jeremy for his efforts. We’re touched that through his fundraising we will be able to remember Mark in this way – he was one of our most independent service users and a former student at Henshaws College.”

The grand total raised from the beans bath was £85.
