Well don’t hesitate, contact Mr Marsh before Thursday for details to find out how you can help out this holiday by simply giving up a little time to entertain/be entertained by a 3 year old in our community who has just recently lost all his belongings. It may be in the morning and/or the afternoon and will help put a smile on the faces of 2 members of our community.
