Charity Hamper
Our Charity Hamper has been out this month doing good work.
We raised £28 at a MacMillan Coffee Morning at Social Care Offices, Daybrook.
We then raised £19 for Nottingham Women's Aid Bake a Difference cake sale at Arnold. Local MP Vernon Coaker came to support the event and bought some gloves from us for his grandchild. Vernon said that he thought the hamper was a brilliant idea!
