This year they raised a total of £41 million, which is an impressive amount of money to help change children and young people’s lives, and we are incredibly proud to have been a part of it.”

“We must also say a big ‘thank you’ to our customer who gave up her build slot so we could donate this Proace Matino to the competition,” continued David.
