The Annual Celebrity Mystery Challenge!
Barking & Dagenham Plus chair Gemma Crader presenting the Annual Celebrity Mystery Challenge Cup to Richard.
Mr Richard Leach of Green Lane, Dagenham, was the surprise winner of Barking & Dagenham Plus “Celebrity Mystery Challenge,” which is an annual event, held at the White Horse Pub in Chadwell Heath. This is a fun competition which helps to raise awareness of Plus’ work within the community, as well as being an enjoyable night-out.
Richard said: “We had people from all over Essex come to this, so we had a great crowd there. I am also looking forward to our Charity fund raising events later this year, which include our Darts Tournament and sponsored walk in aid of Haven House.”
“Plus” is a nationwide social organisation for young people aged 18 to 35. The Barking & Dagenham branch meets every Tuesday at the White Horse, Chadwell Heath, from 9pm. For more info, including membership enquiries, please ring Joe on 07958 669339, or visit www.barkingdagenhamplus.com
