Here’s a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came and supported Sue’s Cornish Christmas Market on Saturday.
We raised an amazing £552.36 which will be split between Growbaby Falmouth and @penrynandfalmouthfoodbank.
Combined with other sales we’ve made this year, we’ll be sending £300 to each of those charities this week.
Thanks once again for your support,
Sue & Beth
