“We’d like to thank everyone who came along, supported us and helped to raise money.

The Rainy Day Trust is the UK’s only charity supporting the home improvement workforce in times of need.

Aaron Frogley, trustee at the Rainy Day Trust, added: “Our warmest thanks to NYEs for supporting our charity.

“Sadly, more and more people are turning to us for financial assistance.

“The money raised at NYEs family fun day will go towards supporting them by helping to make ends meet, and providing the necessary advice, counselling and training.”
