We have started 2024 with a bang and have already donated funding, food, Easter Eggs and books to schools.

We raise funds by working hard at putting on events like the historical re-enactments by Lesley Smith, Coronation concerts, organising raffles, Santa Sleigh Run, manning stalls at local events such the Charter fair and many other venues.
