“We all feel the same as we watch the terrible scenes (of Ukraine) on the telly but we danced for Ukraine with our hearts.
“Thanks to all the local businesses that donated fantastic raffle prizes, to all the ladies who baked the most amazing cakes and biscuits for our cake stall.
“For all participants and spectators who turned up and donated, and also to those who couldn’t make the event but donated.”
