October is shaping up to be a busy month!
We’ve decided to pause and catch our breath after an incredibly busy October. Our hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed! The goal was to raise £1,000 for Cancer Research this year, and thanks to everyone’s efforts, we’ve surpassed that by raising an amazing £1,437 for this fantastic cause. Thanks to everyone who has donated.
