Charity Support Pledged by Winner
Steven Bean, 52, one of the triple-ticket winners, pledged to donate part of his £250,000 prize to support a charity caring for adults with learning difficulties.
“The first thing I’m going to do is give some money to a charity who had a bus stolen and burned.”
The charity, Camphill Milton Keynes, reported its only minibus was stolen on October 9 and later found burned.
“The bus is insured, but it won’t cover the cost of getting a new one. Hopefully other people will give them a few quid too.”
Charity Response
Lucy Davies, head of development at Camphill, said the incident has been very distressing for residents.
“It has been a very difficult time for our residents who have found this situation very confusing and upsetting.”
