Sir – The recent house-to-house collection in Wantage and Grove raised a total of £830.33.

This money will all be used to help prevent child abuse and to improve the lives of abused and neglected children. The local committee sends its grateful thanks to all those who collected as well as all who gave.

Over the years, we have lost many of our collectors as they have moved away, or got too old to do it. Every year the sum collected goes down.

We would love to hear from anyone with just an hour or two to spare to collect in the future. Every penny collected will make a difference to the lives of these children. Please get in touch if you are able to help.
