This time last week was Dereham Day! 💚

Our pyramid rose taller than the Operations Manager, Suzanne, but couldn't top the Gruffalo.

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped on the day - Katherine, Fergus, Graham, Lesley, Dave, Steve and Sue.

We raised £140 in donations and had some great conversations, bumping into longstanding and newer supporters.

The local press say more than 7,000 people came out, so very well attended indeed.

Thank you for all the support! 🫶 (2/2)
