What an amazing response to our appeal – we even had donations from members of the local community and our neighbour Letham Primary!
Yesterday I filled my car, so today I brought my big car…..and I still ran out of space and had to call on help!
We had so many donations of wipes and nappies, plus some baby powder and food, so we have donated some of these to a charity preparing baby boxes to make sure everything gets to where it is needed the most.

We experienced story massage listening to stories and songs about Fairtrade while relaxing.

We also participated in ‘Climate’ activities such as Litter Picking, Recycling and Gardening.
