On Saturday 7 July (between 1pm and 5pm) we will be hitting the beautiful and busy streets of Bath shaking buckets and collecting donations.

We need as many volunteers as possible to make a real impact in the streets of Bath. Hopefully the weather will be sunny and the shoppers generous!

If you can spare a couple of hours to help rattle a bucket then please get in touch by emailing Fundraising or telephone Simon on 0117 906 2922.
