From the Group Leader:
Our chosen charity, Brake, is a national road safety charity which works tirelessly to prevent road death and injury through educating road users and raising awareness about the importance of staying safe on the roads as both a driver and a pedestrian. One of Brake’s major projects is the organisation of the annual national Road Safety Week. As many of you will know, it is a charity particularly close to my heart, so it was absolutely fantastic that the other group members considered it a worthy cause for us to support.
The money is still coming in, and thanks to the generosity of you and many others we have raised:
£5,060.62
Thank you!
