Just 30 hours before the Fundraiser for the Brighouse Central Foodbank closes. Can you help us hit our target of £2000? We do this in Ann's name every year because she gave £10 to the people of Lightcliffe at Christmas in her will. Thank you!

Ann Walker left £10 to the people of Lightcliffe at Xmas in her will - enough personal estate was invested in consolidated 3% annuities (“consols”) to generate an annual return of £10. Ten pounds is 3% of 333 pounds, 6 shillings and 8 pence, and the actual receipt is below. ⬇️

FUNDRAISER 2025
Helping others at Christmas was always on Ann Walker's mind. Not only did she leave £10 a year to the people of Lightcliffe to be given out on Xmas Day, but she sent home letters from her travels to make sure her tenants and ex-servants were taken care of....1/2

Her father's funeral hit an unexpected snag… so #AnneLister made a bold decision. Let’s just say the Ramsdens didn’t exactly give permission.
