On the 30th of June, a group of us are going to take part in a 22 mile walk from Brighton to Horsted Keynes, to raise much needed funds for our village preschool.

Horsted Keynes Preschool is a committee-run charity and while we get local authority funding for each child from the age of three, we have an enormous shortfall every year of around £8,000 which we have to raise ourselves to ensure that our doors stay open and that we can safeguard this great institution so it remains in the village for future generations.

I appreciate that there are so many worthy causes competing for your generosity. But we‘d be very grateful for any (small!) donation you may be able to give to this very worthy local charity.
