The campaign drew support from across the region, including major contributions from local businesses. One firm, Winner Winner Chicken Dinner, donated \u00a330,000, while Lincs Tyres pledged \u00a38,000. Fundraising efforts continue to help meet the pool\u2019s full \u00a360,000 annual running costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
