Stephen said: “It was great to be back in the town this year after the Covid lockdown of 2020 and I’m so thankful to all who stopped to wish me well and donate.

“I’m humbled by how generous folk are, and how willing they are to support a locally based charity that is operating to help children in need in Kenya. The cash donations, coupled with further online contributions over the holiday weekend, generated a staggering total of £7,026.60 which will go in its entirely to running our Christian school in Kenya through 2022.

“Thank you to everyone who donated.”
