MKDC were jiving all day on Sunday 8th January at our Jiveathon charity event for Willen Hospice.
We had a fantastic day full of live performances from the wonderful Laura Christie, the rock n rollin’ Gary Beckwith and the brilliant Bobcats who all performed for free in aid of Willen Hospice. We’d like to thank you for your performances and effort, we could not have held the event without you.
MKDC raised a grand total of…
£1,122.48!!!
