Crocus Appeal: £5,000 for PolioPlus!

Members went to the SECC on 22nd and 23rd February for public collection for PolioPlus


In just over 2 years, our collections in the Exhibition Centre concourse have raised £1,730.  With the Bill and Melinda Gates promise to double-match contributions, this takes the total value of our collection up to a really useful £5,190 to help to eradicate Polio! 

We are 'this close' to the total erradication of polio and every little is a great help.
