The Children’s Centre needs £120,000 just to keep the existing services going so every penny raised is brilliant. Thank you so much for all your effort” Gillian commented: “We honestly had a huge amount of fun in preparing our activities, and it really was a great pleasure to know that we have been able to help such a worthwhile local cause.”
