Clapham cave rescuers glad of Co-operation

The Co-op has stepped in to raise money for the Clapham-based Cave Rescue Organisation, its charity of choice for the coming year.

It is a vital time for the CRO as its major fundraising event of the year, Broughton Game Show, was cancelled.

Sheila Brown, manager of the Co-op’s Ingleton store, said: “This was a personal choice for me and I am happy we were able to make Cave Rescue our charity.

“A lot of our customers at the shop are visitors to the area and they may well need the help of CRO. We want to help make people aware of the work that Cave Rescue does.”


Cave Rescue chairman Bill Quinton said: “We need to raise £30,000 every year for equipment and ambulances, so Sheila’s effort is much appreciated.”
