Saffron Walden: charity donation

Generous Partners at Saffron Walden have donated £1,800 to two local charities. [2001]

The Squirrels and The Teddy Charity each received a cheque for £904, following a year of fundraising events.

The money was raised in a variety of ways including a tombola. Dianne Howell was sponsored to climb Sydney Harbour Bridge during a recent holiday to Australia, and at Christmas staff made up hampers and sold them.

The Squirrels is a home for men with profound learning difficulties, whilst The Teddy Charity raises money to buy medical equipment for children who are seriously ill.
