Mansfield Rotary has donated £750 to Hetty’s to help the charity carry out work at its new premises in Mansfield Woodhouse.

The charity, which supports families affected by a loved one’s alcohol or drug use and was founded in 1996 by a group of mums experiencing the pain and heartbreak of a loved one’s drug addiction, had been based for many years at Marlborough House in Mansfield.

However, it recently bought the 1700 Grade II-listed Burnaby House following a successful fundraising campaign.

However, the property had stood empty for more than two years and required a significant amount of work to make it suitable to deliver the services it provides.

This has led to the donation from Mansfield Rotary and a personal £100 donation from the club’s oldest member, Don Mackenzie.

Rotary Club President Karen Johnson presented the charity with a cheque for £750.

Hetty’s currently supports more than 200 families each month across Nottinghamshire.
