Morning everyone
We have been gathering donations for our Blue Door week 11-15 August. Just to say we are delighted that we have more than enough gathered here so don't need any more donations πŸ™‚
BUT we would be very grateful for any baking or raffle prizes for that week - we can collect or you can drop off at office.
We also wondered if anyone would be free to maybe cover the shop at Blue Door - we have a few slots we are struggling to cover 😟 if you can help please call us 871515 and see what times we need.
Thankyou so much for all your support πŸ™‚
