Our children touched hearts and made us more new friends when Elizabeth Gomm gave a
talk to the Focus group at Poulton Methodist Church.
The group listened intently as Elizabeth told them Mama's inspiring story of the road that led to founding her charity and creating her Happy House, the enduring love and support of Papa Dave, and the stories of some of our children.
They were amazed at the size and scale of the Happy House and of the remarkable transformations being worked on little lives.
A club donation and collection raised £181.84 for the Happy House.
Thank you Focus for giving Elizabeth such a warm reception.
