MAY I express my sincere thanks to Wally Knott and Lorraine Rowley for choosing our charity to receive a donation of more than £500 on behalf of the family and friends of Barbara, who passed away recently after a short illness.

Barbara worked on the mental health unit at Fairfield General Hospital and was well-known to many members of Making Space. She was a good friend and is missed in the community.

Fund-raising can be very difficult for us. We are not funded by the local authority and so rely on the generosity of those people who understand, and are sympathetic to, mental health needs. Our grateful thanks to all concerned.

LILY REID,

organiser, Making Space.
