I AM trying to raise funds for research into arthritis – which is not government funded, and relies solely on donations – and wonder whether anyone would be willing to kindly volunteer an hour or two of their time to help me with the odd street collection, or to come to a coffee morning/tea afternoon.

Any help would be much appreciated!   I can be contacted on 01594 530470, email Madeleine. [email protected]">[email protected].
