MAY I, on behalf of the management committee, staff, parents and children here at Stepping Stones say a very belated thank you for raising money for our group through the sale of the winning Christmas card in your competition.

The card that won the competition was wonderful and we received many comments on what a good idea it had been. We sold out of all the cards donated to us and have just received the £127 which was the balance of the money for the cards sold at the Wiltshire Times office.

We would like you to know just how much your support is appreciated and valued. This money will be used for the general purposes of the charity, in particular to help to continue to fund our music therapist. Music therapy at Stepping Stones is entirely funded by donations without which we would not be able to offer this valuable therapy to our children.

I should be grateful if you would convey our sincere thanks to everyone involved in the competition, especially the children.

AMANDA LEWORTHY,

Chairman, Management Committee,

West Wilts Opportunity Group for Children with Special Needs.
