Smashed it!!!3 years ago

I am bowled over by the generosity of all the wonderful people who have donated to this project and I can't wait to get started! I wish I knew who our anonymous donors are - your generosity has helped to ensure that this project can go ahead and I want to express my enormous gratitude to you. We have exceeded the target with some time to go - I haven't yet decided whether to let the fundraiser continue in order to add more inclusive activities and songs, or whether to end it and get going! A tricky decision. I am so excited to deliver this work and I know the choirs are itching to get started. I will return to update you once a decision has been made. You people are what good society is all about. Thank you. xxx
