SIR, Thank you so much for the wonderful appeal in The Westmorland Gazette on behalf of our charity Homes For Street Children. The response has been wonderful and so varied from your readers, some just small donations included in letters wishing us good luck and larger donations from people wanting to give continued support.
We now know that by summer, ten children will be in our care off the streets and not having to endure another harsh winter trying to survive. This has been made possible by the continuing support of yourself as Editor, Karen Barden and the staff who, to my mind, publish the best local paper printed.
