A Lake District woman in palliative care is fundraising via a Christmas raffle to transport her mobility scooter.

Annie Garforth, a Lake District woman in palliative care due to multiple severe health conditions, is raising funds for a trailer and towbar to transport her mobility scooter, enabling her to visit cherished local spots with family. Originally seeking a new scooter, she now has a second-hand one, plus accessories, and is using a Christmas raffle—featuring prizes from local businesses—to cover transport costs. The raffle draws on December 23. She previously led a community litter-picking group, 'The Binfluencers,' and remains grateful for ongoing support despite stepping down due to declining health.
