As well as raising money, there were also lots of generous donations of food made during the 24 hours to the Waterside Foodbank, other members of Waterside Boardgaming joined in playing games throughout the 24 hours. In addition to the main event in Dibden Purlieu, a stall was set up at the Mistletoe Fayre in Hythe with games for people to join in and providing an extra drop o point for food donations. Over £400 was donated to the Waterside Foodbank and £100 was donated to St Andrew’s for their warm space initiative. Luke Allen comments: “We had a fantastic amount of support over the 24 hours, thank you to everyone that made a donation, the money raised and food donated will have made a real difference to some people’s lives over Christmas! Special thanks to Edward Newbold, David Thornton and Dave Jamieson who did the whole 24 hours with me, and to everyone else who did long shifts, helped out with lifts/transport, social media, food, moral support and night visits to keep us going.” Although the funding link has now closed, you can still make a food donation to the Waterside Foodbank via the drop off point in Applemore Tesco.
