In the last 15 months over £1,500 has been raised within Ashtead, sponsoring 50 wheelchairs. The money came through events like coffee mornings, Village Day, the World-Wide Charities Fair, and a charity Day at Palmers' Tea Rooms.
Ashtead was put on the map when Gillian was interviewed on Southern Counties Radio. "We now have a wonderful fund-raising team from the Ashtead churches, including Karen Goodridge, who organises our stalls and sells her wonderful craft-work, Sandie Thompkins, who worked for six months as a volunteer administrator at the TTR office and Jan Trapmore," says Gillian.
