This Saturday 31 May and Sunday 1 June, at Winton House on the High Street, the Petersfield Branch of Save the Children are hoping to break their record by raising over £1,500 for use at home and abroad. 

Committee members Jane, Jill and Helen spoke to Mike Waddington about the importance of fund raising.

This event and the next one in November raises funds for the organisation’s Emergency Fund.

The Branch is one of the top fund raisers for the Charity and has a long history in the area – the first event was held in a house in Liss in 1963. The Branch has been visited twice by Princess Anne.

The Pop Up Shop is on Saturday 31 May, 9:30am to 5pm and on Sunday 1 June, 10am to 4pm, at Winton House.
