For a week in November, PSDS member and Get On Downs founder Lu ran a Community Champions stall outside Stennings Bakery in Carshalton Beeches. A fabulous total of £1,235 was raised via donations, the sale of face masks, hug tokens and lucky sixpences! We are very grateful to Nisha for offering Lu this opportunity and to Stennings Bakery for providing such a great pitch.
Most importantly of all, we really appreciate all the hard work Lu and her wonderful team of helpers put in - our huge thanks go to Danielle, Claire, Isabel, Ashlea, Jess, Ashleigh, Marlo, Maro and Tracey - not forgetting Lu's son Billy and his friends from PSDS and Get On Downs who also gave a helping hand too!
The funds raised will be shared between PSDS and Get On Downs - so every penny will help local children and young people who have Down syndrome to reach their full, wonderful potential.
Thank you Lu and team - you are all total Champions!
