Last Saturday was street collection day for the local group of Amnesty International, and we would like to give heartfelt thanks to all those who generously gave to the cause of human rights.

The money we collected by shaking our tins in Bournemouth Square will go straight towards supporting Amnesty’s efforts on so many fronts – working for individuals whenever justice, fairness, freedom and truth are denied.

Many thanks again to all those who, in these straitened times, stopped and gave.
