1.5 MILLION!
 
A million and a half thanks to all of you who have helped us over the last two and a half years.  The children are so excited and proud to have completed this stage of the project.  It has really shown them what a bit of ambition, determination and a whole lot of help from your community can achieve. We'll now move on to the next step of raising the funds needed to build the memorial maze.   Many, many thanks to you all.
