I WOULD like to thank parishioners at St John the Evangelist and Lytham United Reformed Church, staff and pupils at Brockholes Wood County Primary and Lostock Hall High School and all those in Preston who took part in The European Children's Trust annual Harvest Appeal.

The appeal raised £100,000 and 200,000 bags of sugar, flour and rice, which will be distributed to orphanages and vulnerable families in Romania and to war-torn villages in Kosova.

On behalf of the children of Kosova and Romania, thank you.
