Firstly, to all those that turned up and packed bags, or manned buckets - a very heartfelt thank you. Like I said before, the Group only survives because those that really care about it are willing to put in the work to raise money. Well done to all involved.

We have just counted up the coins (and some notes!), and the grand total raised for the day was:

£874.00

Which is only twenty pounds less than at Asda. I should also mention that the Leaders were approached by two different charitable foundations with suggestions to approach them for possible support, so this day’s work could prove to be a lot more lucrative!

A big thank you again to all involved, and wishing you all a peaceful Christmas and a happy new year.
