and footwear or a mobile phone for personal safety. |

| Benmore
Play Project based in Birmingham caters for children
from 4 to 13 years old, providing after school care and activities
during the school holidays –an essential facility for
working parents. Unfortunately it is about to close much to
everyone’s dismay, but staff wanted the children to leave
with a positive experience and asked if we could help with the
cost of a 3 day trip to Woodlands Educational Outdoor Centre.
It will be the first time many of the children have been away
from home with or without their parents – needless to
say they are all very much looking forward to the trip. |
