Charity Support Pledged by Winner
Steven Bean, 52, one of the triple-ticket winners, pledged to donate part of his £250,000 prize, shared with his wife Olesya, to support a charity 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 incident involved the charity Camphill Milton Keynes, whose only minibus was stolen on October 9 and later found burnt. Steven added,
“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, commented on the challenging impact on residents:
“It has been a very difficult time for our residents who have found this situation very confusing and upsetting.”
Summary
Steven Bean's generous pledge from his lottery winnings aims to aid Camphill Milton Keynes after their minibus was stolen and burned, highlighting community resilience and support.
