Derbyshire music festival raises £40,000 for local cancer charity

For the third consecutive year, we have sponsored the Old Goats Grumble festival in Denby, Derbyshire, right by our charming development, Shipley Lakeside.

With the help of our £3,000 contribution, the festival raised £40,000 for cancer charity Lauren’s Legacy, improving on last year’s whopping £36,000 at yet another sold-out event.

By raising funds via donations and events such as the Old Goats Grumble festival, Lauren’s Legacy continues Lauren’s mission in fulfilling the wishes of those teenagers and young adults going through cancer treatment. These wishes encompass a range of experiences, from a memorable family holiday to coveted concert tickets or seats at a major sporting event. In fact, Lauren’s Legacy has now acquired a deluxe holiday home at Ashbourne Heights Holiday Park in the Peak District, allowing families going through cancer treatment a chance to have a free stay for long weekends.

Kurt Elliott, President of the League of Zeal motorcycle club and one of the organisers of the Old Goats Grumble, said “It was brilliant to see such a great turnout yet again. This is the ninth Old Goats Grumble now and we’re so glad to be able to hold such events year after year. We couldn’t host events of this scale or raise this much money without the support of local businesses, so we’re incredibly grateful for Harron Homes’ continued contribution to Old Goats Grumble.”

Lee Kilby, Construction Director for Harron Homes North Midlands, added: “We were delighted to sponsor the Old Goats Grumble festival for the third year running. I was glad to see several of our own employees attended to support Lauren’s Legacy and they had a fantastic weekend!”
