NATALIE Lineker of Bow, decided to organise a Christmas fete in memory of her late father, Graham Lineker to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation.

The fete is to be held on Saturday, November 5 at the Boniface Centre, Crediton between 11am and 4pm.

Graham, a resident in Crediton for many years, passed away suddenly a week before Christmas last year after a heart attack.

The organisation of the fete has become a great comfort to Natalie and has helped her in dealing with the loss of her father.

The local business community in Crediton and the surrounding areas have been amazing in their support of this event.

Natalie has managed to collect more than 100 prizes for the raffle, tombola and silent auction; however some of the donations have come from further afield such as a signed Manchester United shirt which will be auctioned on the day.

There will be a range of trade stands at the fete which will include: makeup, homemade candles, books, driftwood items, handmade wooden items, hand sewn items, greetings cards, stationery, nail wraps, handmade jewellery and face painting.

Natalie has also organised lots of Christmas activities for children and refreshments during the event.

All are invited to go along and show support for Natalie and a charity which could become important to the wellbeing of your loved ones at any point in time.
