Funds are always needed to run the organisation and pay for the nursing services and a concerted effort was made this year in conjunction with the annual street appeal. A shop day was held at the St John Hall and extra-ordinarily large amounts of cake, produce, flowers and secondhand clothes were sold in record time. But money is needed all the time, so if you have any to spare …!
