💜 A Huge Thank You 💜

Today, we were incredibly honoured to receive a fantastic £1,930 donation from Jimmy Richardson.

Jimmy raised this amazing amount through his annual pool competition, held in loving memory of his son, Stuart Richardson. 💜

We are so grateful for Jimmy’s continued support and for everyone who took part and contributed to such a wonderful event.

Thank you so much! 💜
