Last night we had a fabulous evening at the Akash Balti Restaurant. Where we had our fundraiser evening.
The staff were great as always. And donated £260.00 back to us which was half the amount we paid.
We raised £75 on raffle. And with a few donations still coming in we’re are up to £340.
Food and company was amazing. Thank you all so much who came to support us.
We had many giggles.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Today we celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women everywhere.

Hey everyone! 😊

Just a quick heads-up that we won’t be running Showdown today due to low numbers. We appreciate everyone who was interested and hope to see you all next time when we can make it bigger and better!

Thanks for understanding and have an awesome day!
