people, still fearful of leaving their homes, to get out and enjoy themselves!

The communities from these catchment areas have been truly inspirational in their support of the appeal. The total is now £2,123,000 but the charity still has to find another £377,000, so the appeal for unwanted/broken jewellery and watches continues, as well as the talks. To donate to the appeal or if interested in arranging a talk to find out what the charity does with the jewellery, please call Maggie (appeal committee member) on 01963 250108.
