Thank you to EVERYONE who turned out tonight for our fundraiser at @OTCBarSE24. Fantastic crowd; thrilling auction; dancing and £5k raised!!! We can press on with our plans to welcome a 3rd family to the neighbourhood. What a brilliant community this is!
We did it!🌹
Thanks to EVERYONE who came out to support us. Special thanks to @dgoodwinhotline, @connorlol and Andy W for organising us + team LG (some of whom stayed for the recount past 6am!) + @sarahhhanson94 for supporting me this past year.
The real work starts now. 🌹🟢
