Mayor joins Sci-Fi characters on fundraising mission
Mayor of Dartford, Councillor Eddy Lampkin, joined Darth Vader, Daleks and Stormtroopers in Dartford town centre last Saturday to raise money for local charity Cherished Memories.
The Mayor helped to collect £465 in donations from members of the public who had their photographs taken with the Star Wars and Dr Who characters in the Orchards Shopping Centre.
Councillor Lampkin said, “It was great to see these hugely popular characters drawing in people of all ages to have their pictures taken and donate money to Cherished Memories – a very worthwhile cause.”
Cherished Memories works to organise special family days out for children from hospices. The families are also provided with a DVD to help them remember their special day.
Along with Arrow Riding School, DGSM YourChoice and ChYps, Cherished Memories is one of the charities that Councillor Lampkin has chosen to support during his term of office.
