A bevy of crafts all made by Richmond’s Olive Estate Lifestyle Village residents were on display last weekend to brush up funds for Nelson Tasman Hospice.
The craft market and exhibition organiser, Russell Miller, says it was the third year the village had held the event, and it was part of its support for the Hands Up for Hospice campaign which has been held over May.
“We’ve had 21 vendors showcasing Olive Estate and the talent that the residents have… and the village has done a very good job putting effort into this event,” he says.
“It has gone very well, the vendors have been selling their crafts and some of them have had good returns.”
Russell says he would’ve been satisfied if the event raised $1000 for Nelson Tasman Hospice, and his expectations were exceeded with more than $1900 soon to boost the specialist palliative care unit.
