<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A family fun day held in Newcastle has raised over £2,500 for Help for Heroes (H4H).<\/p>\n
Hundreds of people went along to the event, which was organised by Newcastle Building Society and had a dog show, fancy-dress competition, inflatable slide, face-painting and a bouncy castle, the News Guardian reports.<\/p>\n
It is part of a year-long commitment made by members of staff at the lender to collect cash for the military charity.<\/p>\n
Gillian Tiplady, head of corporate social responsibility at Newcastle Building Society, told the paper: "We had an absolutely brilliant day, with so much fun and laughter all through the event."<\/p>\n
They hope this is the first step in a process that will eventually see them raise over £100,000 for H4H.<\/p>\n
Ms Tiplady is delighted with the start they have made and feels it is important that as a mutual organisation they have a tangible contribution to the community.<\/p>\n
