An enterprising pupil in Year 5 has organised a raffle to raise money for Children in Need. May will be selling tickets in St Margaret’s House mornings and afternoons and tickets cost 50p each or 3 for £1.
The prizes would make ideal Christmas presents – a hallmarked sterling silver hand-made ladies engraved bangle and stylish gentleman’s cufflinks made in May’s daddy’s workshop in the Jewellery Quarter.
The draw will be on Friday 18 November – Children in Need day.
Well done, May!
