Today our Support Group assisted by a small number of team operational members held a highly successful collection day at the Tesco Extra store at Middlebroook, Horwich.

Present from the Support Group membership were Iain Clarkson, Laura Tunnicliffe, Julie Thompson, Dave Rees and new Support Group member John Ryan.

Attending and assisting from the operational membership were our trainee air scenting search dog handler Jess Ellsmore and trainee search dog Blitz, along with Trainee Team members Matthew Morris and Steve James.

The absolutely fantastic sum of £564.04p was raised, thanks to the very kind generosity of shoppers today, some of whom individually gave us a £10.00 note and a £20.00, with all amounts gratefully received.

We are as ever, thankful for the kind support of the management at Tesco, who so readily granted us permission to hold our collection.

The charity coordinator at Tesco was Carmelina Chester.
