Our grateful thanks to the Legacies we have been left, which allow us to plan for the future.

- Everyone who sponsored Jack Cumming's Head Shave. Jack aged 11 undertook a sponsored head shave, raising an incredible £6,228. He commented: “I decided to shave my head because my Mum's cancer had come back and I wanted to help her get better. I decided to raise money for the CVI so that I could help other people too. I thought that if Mum was going to go bald she wouldn't be the only one in our family. When my head was being shaved I felt very nervous in case I didn't like it. It was odd to start with but the more I got used to it the more I liked it. Playing sport was a lot colder but at least I had less chance of getting nits. I’d like to say a huge thank you to all the staff at Windelsham House School who were so supportive and who helped me organise the event, also, all the sponsors who were so incredibly generous.”
