We are pleased to announce the income from our community collecting boxes for April 2012 totalled £330.72p (compared with £252.76p in April 2011). This brings the total so far raised in our collecting boxes for 2012 to an amazing £1,145.92p (£1.179.45p for the same period in 2011).

As ever we extend our many thanks to all the varied premises which host our current total of 135x boxes out and about in the community, and to all who deposit their donations, whether small or large, so generously.

We are always looking for new collection sites, with our aim being to get 150x out and about in our team area for 2012.
