Since partnering with Marie and Donald to help the orphans in DR Congo we have been able to share lots of positive stories.

Tiger

Very excited to receive a donation of Thinsulate gloves and socks today from the Nottingham Tiger store. It was great to meet store manager Ben and Mani (pictured) today – and thanks to the lovely lorry driver from Lancashire for helping me out of an impossible parking space! (Sorry ladies – I’ve totally let you all down!)
