The Isle of Wight’s very own Batman, Graham Street, who runs the Island’s Bat Hospital, has been presented with a cheque from residents at a Bembridge care home.
The dynamic duo of Batman and Robin met at The Elms Care Home on Swaines Road recently, with resident Robin Brigstock presenting a cheque for £150.
The money was raised from the care home’s Christmas coffee morning which included a raffle and tombola.
Lesley Wise, manager of The Elms, said:
“We acknowledge the wonderful work the bat hospital looking after injured protected bats on the Island and that they have rescued over 2000+ to date. That’s a marvellous achievement.”
The Elms has also presented cheques for £150 to other community charities and organisations – the Isle of Wight Red Squirrel Trust; Ability Dogs for Young People; the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary and St Mary’s Hospital’s ICU.
Lesley continues:
“Both the team and residents here decided they wanted to help some of the island’s charities who have had such a difficult time during the pandemic. We are so thrilled we have been able to support them with their invaluable work.”
