Sapra chair Marcelle Ravid said the event was aimed at promoting community engagement.
Participating houses staged Halloween scenes in Rutland, Worcester, and Northwold streets in Parkwood and Saxonwold. The call for donations of sweets was answered swiftly by members of Sapra.

Sapra committee member Victoria Andrews added it was an incredible afternoon of frights and fun. ” But there were also lots of lessons learned, we can’t wait to make it an even bigger and better Halloween next year.”
A share of the funds raised will be donated to Saxonwold Primary School and the Rockies Running Club, and the remaining funds will be ring-fenced for Sapra projects.
Sapra also thanked the headmaster at Saxonwold Primary and the teachers for their support and the use of the school grounds for the kick-off. Thanks also got to the committee members and volunteers who gave their time and energy to make the event a roaring success.
