Sarah Lowther, general manager at the Owton Lodge, said: “It was great to see the children learning bits of CPR skills as well as having fun getting their faces painted, and even the parents had time for bingo and a quiz.

"Some lucky winners also took home match day tickets and gift cards.”

Sarah added: “All in all, a fantastic day for some fantastic causes.”
