ON behalf of the Mary Budding Trust I write publically to thank Alison Hatcher and Lianne Carr for their kind donation of £25.10, the sum remaining after they raised funds to replace a child's bicycle and swan figurine which were stolen during Christmas.

We are fortunate to live in a town with residents such as Alison and Lianne.

The trustees will use the gift in our work supporting disabled and disadvantaged children living locally.

Alan Johnson

Chairman Mary Budding Trust
