Christmas Community Fundraiser 2024
A massive thank you to ALL involved in helping us raise this extraordinary amount!
CHRISTMAS COMMUNITY FUNDRAISER 2024
Our total raised this year is a record amount and could not have been achieved without the collaboration of so many people including local business, so our thanks are contained below!
Our Christmas float is aided by a small army of volunteers, and as volunteers ourselves, we realise the commitment involved and without their help, we could not do this.
So a massive THANK YOU goes to EVERYONE who helped us - many have been involved for several years and some for the first time, and we really could not do this without you!
