HAPPY NEW YEAR !
In December 2024, we embarked on a very busy month of Christmas activities, ranging from 14 nights in different areas of Widnes with our float, bringing Santa to see countless excited children (and adults!) as we collected, walking 65 miles in the process, as well as two weekends collecting at Asda Widnes and, for the first time, having a presence with Santa at Notcutts Rivendell Garden Centre.
We raised a record, jaw dropping £23,500, all with the invaluable help of local businesses and volunteers, so our thanks go to them and to the Widnes community who so generously donated!
Now off to do more 'Dogoodery' in the words of a young Rotaractor!
