Christmas Jumper Day Success, £178 raised for Save the Children!

We had a fantastic Christmas Jumper Day and Bake Sale today in support of Save the Children. We have raised £178 total so far.

Every penny raised, both in person and online will go directly to Save the Children, helping support children who need it most.

Our fundraising link is still live, so there’s still time to donate. Every contribution, big or small, truly makes a difference:https://christmas.savethechildren.org.uk/fundraising/CJD250016986?fbclid=IwY2xjawOnx-BleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETE0MEhnNDAzU2Jpd3pIUHdjc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHoKA38L8RjBFdBozAVJ4-odrUYZGBGjFLcjATJle0pu0OTNJWnpLBTDaZe5L_aem_T0HpyDEWpyLA5RwIri53Eg
