Message from Jade Perry in Malawi I WOULD just like to say a massive thank you to everybody for their love and support towards the girls in Malawi. Between us we have managed to raise over £2,500. I am feeling completely overwhelmed by people’s kindness and generosity and so very grateful. The girls have benefitted so much from all of your kind donations. We’ve managed to kit out their new bathroom with towels, shower curtains and mirrors. They’ve had a new tv and DVD player. Best of all we’ve built a netball court and got everything they need to go with it. Bibs, whistles, a new netball and a stop watch. A lot of the girls really love netball and are so great at it. Malawi’s National team are actually ranked very high in the world. Hopefully one day some of these girls could make that team! What we have achieved together, building this court, with sheer hard work and determination their dreams can really come true.

A big thank you! I WOULD be grateful if you could thank the wonderful people of Markfield for helping us on 16/05/2018. We were just taking Leo our 8 month old Labrador to Tomlinson’s for his hydrotherapy session as he has Congenital dysplasia of both hips. Unfortunately he ran on to the main Leicester Road and was hit by a van which stopped but as he was so frightened he ran away and after a 1 hour search by many people and some who were total strangers but who lived in Markfield he was found safely on Janes Way . Fortunately he was lucky enough to have escaped with minor grazes and he has since had one hip replaced successfully. Our thanks to everyone who helped. From the Patel Family
