Hansfords Funeral Service

Hansfords have been out supporting the community of Beer at its annual Regatta week. We bought the rolls for the sausage sizzles on Sunday Funday and Barrell rolling nights, and helped with the cooking last night too. From these 2 events we helped raise over £1,050 to help Puffins Playschool in Beer.
