  2. download the app if u can mate. If not you just find the retailer you want, click the link and shop as normal.
  3. George cost us £10k in august and rhys cost just over £10k. Over £20k raised in 12 months is an emmense effort from everyone. As tracy says, there are currently around 60 contributors, but i think that has shot up in the last fortnight. The potential is there for all to see. Thank you all for your continued support. If anybody has any questions, or wants a standing order form, feel free to PM me.
