Book Sale 22nd April


We raised a further £200 to split between the Cancer Laryngectomee Trust and the Charing Cross Breast Cancer Clinic with the book sale yesterday. Many thanks to all staff and students who donated and purchased items from us.

Liz Price kindly rounded the figure up to the nice sum of £200 and helped with the sales the whole day. We couldn't do these sales without her.

Glynnis Jenkins, Jackie Byrne and Diane Spence used their creativity to make some beautiful handmade cards for us to sell and we raised over £18 with these, they were really popular with staff.

The Pot of Gold was won by Richard Endacott who won with £34. Not as much as usual but we hope he enjoyed spending it.

Thanks also to Lynne Pearson and Paula Whittle who allowed us to hold the sale at the Barons Court Site and also to Ola, Darren and Hafid from Site Care from transporting the books from Ealing.

I think I have covered all the thanks now, it's a bit like writing a speech for the Oscars!
