Wave 105 Superhero Day
Thank you so much to Wave 105 Cash for Kids Superhero Day who were raising money for local families experiencing holiday hunger. They have donated £4,151.00 to us, so we can carry on providing food shops for children in poverty in our area. The school holidays are always a tough time, as these children normally receive free school meals, and families struggle to feed them during the long Summer break. We are so grateful for your ongoing support of our small charity.
