Story

We (Harry, Maisie and Gwennie) are camping and cooking at least one meal per day on the barbeque.  We are even washing up and tidying the tent too!  Mum, Dad and Tash are getting used to the taste of charcoal!!  Our cat, Pilchard, sleeps in with us as well.  Although he bought us a not very nice present this morning.  We discovered a large dead rodent in the porch, Gwennie screeched.  We have been camping since Saturday 2nd May.  Maisie is desperate to be in her own bed but is sticking it out to keep Harry and Gwennie going.  We would like to raise some money to help people in Somerset who have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic.  Any donations would be appreciated.  Please also join in from your gardens or front rooms.

Pflease see below how the money raised will support people in Somerset.....

Through the Somerset Coronavirus Response and Recovery Fund, we will award grants to local charities and community organisations across the county of Somerset in two stages: response and recovery. In the response phase, we will get extra money to boost efforts to provide essential support to older people and other vulnerable groups affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. In the recovery phase, we will fund a wider group of local charities and community organisations whose operations and finances have been affected, helping them to recover while also helping our communities get back on their feet once the outbreak We will work to make sure the fund reaches the communities that need the most support. We are working closely with partners in the voluntary sector, NHS and local authorities and contacting frontline organisations to see what is needed. We have been funding the local voluntary sector for 18 years and we know a lot of these organisations very well. Never have
