As always, June and July are incredibly busy months for FSW, with many of our supporters organising fundraising events, as well as open gardens - all of which bring much-needed funds into our bank account! A big thank you to the organisers, bakers, servers, dancers, singers, and everyone else involved. Especially the attendees who pay to support us.

For the families we support, this can be an anxious time. With the school year ending, many children are preparing to leave primary school and head off to “big” school in the autumn. For many parents, the real challenge is the looming school holidays...six weeks of keeping the children entertained. Paying for holiday clubs or a trip away can be a significant strain, but FSW helps by providing events that families can attend. In partnership with the Mothers’ Union, we’re also able to send some lucky families on caravan holidays. Thanks to this support, children return to school in September with holiday stories of their own to share.

None of this would be possible without your continued support, so thank you, as always. I do hope you're enjoying this lovely weather.

Best wishes,
Martin and the FSW Team
