“I was blown away by the support of the community, I had no words on the evening when I realised we had managed to raise this sum of money for Child Welfare,” said Craig.
Samantha Podmore of Child Welfare thanked everyone involved.
“This donation will make a big difference in our projects; and will help a lot with uniforms, stationery and even therapy for the children,” she said.
“We are not government funded and for everything we do, we have to raise the money ourselves.”
