Dear All,
I hope that you have all had a a lovely Christmas break!
Thank and you so much for supporting our recent events to raise money for Latch, the children’s cancer charity. At the time of writing we have collected the amazing total of £1027.04!
This figure will have grown a little by the time of next week’s newsletter because we still have staff donations in lieu of Christmas cards to add. Asda have also contiuned to collect during the Christmas holidays and they will be bringing in this money later in the week.
The following amounts made up this total:
BHS Carol Singing £376.58
Tesco Carol singing £226.41
Asda Pillgwenlly Carol Singing £166.20
Concert Donations £147.00
Christmas Jumper Day £110.85
I am really grateful to all the parents, grandparents and shoppers who supported us with this.
Congratulations to our Early Bird prize winners- Leo Dunnion and Muskan Iqbal! They both win a £5.00 WH Smiths gift card.
