NUMBERS ARE IN

On the day we had 848 people through our doors and to date, we have raised just over £5000 profit for our 2 chosen charities.

Words cannot express just how much this means to us and the charities.

I had initially set out to get 800 people through our doors and raise 5k and honesty so delighted to have got across the line.

We are still accepting donations up to the beginning of the week if you wish to donate.

Just drop me a PM and I shall send you the details.
