I WOULD like to acknowledge the generosity of those who have supported us recently.

A very brief list includes: Audley and Queen's Park Community Association which raised £1,268 for the Indian Earthquake appeal; Mount Pleasant Resource Centre which donated £151 for the same cause; The Mayoress's Charity which supported us with a fantastic event at King George's Hall on March 8 -- International Women's Day -- raising almost £200 -- and everybody else.
