Fundraising Stories 

Beautiful Crafts

Thank you to Christine and her husband Kevin who make beautiful crafts items throughout the year. They used to be available at our craft fayres but since Covid-19 our fayres have not been able to take place. These incredible volunteers have not let Covid-19 get in the way and are continuing to fundraise for us by still selling their items online.
