Many thanks to everyone who supported or helped at the concert at St Michael and All Angels church, Lyndhurst on March 22nd.

The approximate amount raised after expenses is around £2400. This amount will be shared 50% to Help for Heroes and 25% each to St Michael’s, Lyndhurst and All Saints Church, Minstead. Thanks to The Prince foundation and Costa Coffee, Lyndhurst for their generous sponsorship and the local businesses who donated raffle prizes.
