Recently they told us they were trying to raise £10,000 over Christmas via their first "festive Bucket-a-thon across nearly 40 London venues". As one of these was our local M&S, I joined another volunteer and her son last Wednesday (14th December) to wave our collection buckets at the early evening shoppers. M&S shoppers were very generous with their donations and M&S treated us to hot chocolate and biscuits! As we finished our stint around 6.30pm, the Haven House Choir arrived to take over the collection with added entertainment (we hadn't been singing). Together, we and the choir raised a total of £239.72. We'll let you know what their final total is for all the London venues.
Some of you may know that we occasionally donate to Haven House Children's Hospice.
