I WOULD like to thank all those kind people in Evesham who gave so generously to our flag-days on December 6 and 7.

They raised a magnificent total of £1,188.38. A huge thank you also goes to the manager and staff of Safeways for allowing us to hold the collection and to the Evesham Lions, the Rotary Club of Evesham and all those kind folk who stood and collected for us. All monies that we raise locally go direct to support our Child protection team, based in Worcester, who do such amazing work with abused local children and their families. On their behalf, thank you for stopping, caring and donating.

MRS NICKY CLARK, Chairman of Evesham and Pershore District, NSPCC, Peopleton.
