Thanks Leigh but no doubt you are rushing around doing more important things than wiggling and giggling! ;) xx

Hi Leigh, our Salsa fundraiser went well - we raised £75 which I've donated to your page above :)

I'm waiting to hear back from the venue to see if they can donate the hall for free so I can give you the hall hire fee too!

Thanks again for all your amazing work - the world needs more people like you! xxx

Another local support network for refugees is being co-ordinated by the Big Green Bookshop in Wood Green, who are raising money to help a makeshift library which has been set up by a teacher at the camp at Calais called "The Jungle". They need more books - if you want to help. please donate books or money via the Big Green Bookshop.

Hi Leigh

 It's great to see someone who is really trying to make a difference for these desperate people. Well done to you.  I have a couple of bags of mens clothes and shoes etc that I would be pleased to donate, but do not have a car. I live in Bosworth Road,  could I get them round to you,  or would you be able to collect from me.  Or I think I have seen another local post saying that someone (Sue ?) would be willing to take contributions delivered to the Annual Show at Golf Course Allotments but am wondering if I am getting things mixed up ?

Thanks  Caron
