Skate together ice rink event raises money for Plymouth Together
Fundraising for those affected by last year's shootings in Keyham
A 'skate together' event is taking place at Plymouth's ice rink today, with proceeds going to those affected by last year's shootings in Keyham.
Fundraisers will take to the ice for a four-hour challenge, with members of the public able to still skate - and support the cause - as well.
A spokesperson for Plymouth Pavilions said: "The Plymouth Together Fund is a local charity founded to support Keyham, and surrounding communities, in the wake of the tragic shooting that took place on 12th August 2021.
"Since being founded, The Plymouth Together fund has collected £92,333.This charity is not government funded in anyway, so relies on the donations from the generous individuals, groups and organisations, who have been busy raising money for the funds appeal.
"Fundraisers will be hitting the ice for an amazing 4 hour skate! The rink will also be open to the public for skating, so even if you’ve not got 4hours in you, come along and join Percy our trusty penguin pal in supporting our skating heroes!
"To bag a place fundraisers will need to head over to www.plymouthice.co.uk and secure their spot with a £15 registration fee, skaters will be tasked with raising their own sponsorship money, through the Ice Rink’s JustGiving group."
