Thanks to everyone who came along to support the Christmas carols yesterday, and thanks so much to the band for giving up their free time, they were absolutely fabulous!! The carols were in aid of Keech hospice care, and children with cancer. We managed to raise (drumroll please) a massive £581!! A fantastic amount raised from an equally fantastic community, and a thoroughly Christmassy afternoon too. Merry Christmas! 🎄
