Once again the Upper Culm Valley have responded brilliantly to an appeal - this time for writing equipment for refugee children in Syria. Around 2,000 individual items have been received along with over £60.

To the 5,000 children being taught in groups of 100 and have no equipment and staff teaching in a building made of breeze blocks and covered in in tarpaulin, this will make a huge difference to their lives

Thank you. .
