DJ's Facebook disco raises money for Overgate Hospice

Johnny Barnett, from Hollywell Green, set up his DJ equipment in his garden and had a disco on Facebook Live.

Johnny who is DJs at parties and weddings, is a regular volunteer at the hospice. In the past, he has DJed at the charity's annual ball and Garden Party.

“I’ve had family members who have received amazing care at the Hospice and I try and give something back and that’s why I regularly volunteer. At the moment I can’t – but I wanted to do something that brought a smile to everyone’s face and I wanted everyone at Overgate to know I’m thinking of them.

“I had over 200 great comments and around 1000 views. I will be looking to do this again,” said Johnny.

Community Fundraiser Nikki Scholey said: “We are missing our vital volunteers like Chester during this difficult time but to know he is thinking of us and raising money for us while bringing a smile to everyone’s face is lovely and much appreciated by us all.”
