Pinner’s police station will hold Harrow’s Council leader Sachin Shah and other community leaders to help raise money for a worthy cause. Cllr Shah will be behind bars as part of the Jail and Bail event organised by St Luke's Hospice in Kenton Grange, Kenton. He is hoping the public will help set him free, as his bail money is set at £1,000 that will go towards the hospice.
St Luke’s Hospice cares for people with cancer and other serious progressive illnesses, such as motor neurone disease and heart, lung and kidney failure.
Cllr Shah said: “I am feeling quite nervous about going behind bars for St Luke’s. It is not something I ever thought I would end up doing, but it’s great that I will be doing it for a good cause. I just hope I will raise enough money to be let out. I don’t want to be in there for too long.”
He will be joined by Lead Member for Community Wellbeing, Dudden Hill, Cllr Krupesh Hirani and local supporters, Parvin Faridian and Brian Butler behind bars on April 28.
