THE trustees of the Mary Budding Trust were recently kindly invited to the annual meeting of the Yelverton and District Darts League, where they were presented with a cheque for £730.50. This was an amazing amount of money to be collected for the Mary Budding Trust, and on behalf of the trustees I would like to express our gratitude to all members of the darts league for their generosity. It was truly an incredible effort for such a small organisation to collect so much money. The Mary Budding Trust supports children with special needs and their families living in the West Devon Borough Council area or in the vicinity of Tavistock. It is therefore so encouraging to see a local voluntary organisation supporting a local charity such as ours. Thank you. Anthony Wates Chairman Mary Budding Trust WE held a very successful street collection in the centre of Tavistock on July 22. People gave very generously and the total was £333.84, a very welcome boost for our funds. Ours is a largely independent group run by disabled people for disabled people; so a very big thank you to all who contributed. Lesley Friend Tavistock Physically Challenged Group
