Can you help Chloe Dodwell raise £500 to fund Ingleton's 1940s weekend?
The event is a not-for-profit community event run by a small team of dedicated volunteers who are based in Ingleton.
The popular event which is run every year benefits the local community greatly and helps to support the local economy, businesses and community facilities.
As costs are rising and the popularity of the event growing, they are constantly having to chase funds and hold fundraising events.
Any help you can give will be very much appreciated.
Please visit their Facebook page-Ingleton 1940s weekend or visit justgiving,com to donate.

Askrigg Rope Makers were formed in 2022 as Caroline the owner is so passionate about the craft after learning her skills at Outhwaites, a former company based in the Dales town of Hawes.
Caroline is trying hard to preserve the tradition and was the only female in the Northeast to make rope in the traditional way on such a commercial scale and would love to get the message out to the Dales that the ropemaking tradition is still being kept alive through her passion and dedication.
If you could please help to support her by spreading the word and following her on social media by searching Askrigg Ropemakers that would be amazing!
