I had a wonderful audience of very generous people. ,Some of them could remember the days when Sue was embarking on her fundraising to build the Happy House and wer full of admiration for what she and her charity have achieved. ,To raise £400 in ine afternoon was just brilliant. ,Our thanks to everyone who has helped so far. ,Our appeal total currently stands at £1800 so we still have a long way to go. ,You can help, please, iby arranging a fundraiser in your area.
