We were delighted to receive information about brother and sister Charlie (P6) and Eve (P4), who helped raise money for local homeless charity the Welcome Foundation.

They raised £87 to add to the rest of the collection for the charity.
What a great idea. We're sure the swimmers and their friends really appreciated the treats. Well done Charlie and Eve!
