Cheltenham SI club were invited to take part in the Fun Day held in the gorgeous Pittville Park – organised as part of the No Child Left Behind activities. This is a multifaceted partnership in the town to support children from all parts of the community and the aims and ambitions are a great fit for the Soroptimist ethos – so much so that our club has made our pledge of support and joined.
On this day we concentrated on literacy and set up a book stall. Free books for any child who would like one – and very many did want a book!
We collected approximately 700 books from friends and neighbours and, at the end of the day, had 10 – 12 left.
