Macmillan Cancer Charity

Thank you so much for your generosity with the cake sale for Macmillan last Friday.  We raised a fantastic £306.46!  Thank you, too, to Fran and Becky who did such an amazing sales job at the end of the day!  Macmillan is a cause that is very close to our hearts at the moment: our own Mrs Hind (who we are missing very much) is benefitting from Macmillan support and so we are really pleased to be able to make such a generous donation.

 

Harvest Donations

Jimmy’s Cambridge have asked me to pass on their thanks to you all for your harvest donations.  They are very much appreciated.
