ON BBC Children in Need day I collected for BBC Children in Need near Sainsbury’s at the Sovereign Centre in Boscombe, raising a total of £692.89.

A big thank you to all who made donations on the day.

The following day I operated my fun train at Castlepoint Shopping Centre raising a further £602.66. Many thanks to Asda and Castlepoint management for allowing me to collect again this year.

My total for this year has now reached £2,720.55. My grand total now stands at £43,600.87.

My fundraising will continue, so I hope to see you all again next year.

Thanks again.
