Five year old Milly Pearce and four year old Rhys Clift turned up at the opening of the massively refurbished Co-op superstore on Warstones Drive, Penn to say thank-you to the Co-op for supporting the local Charity POWER PLEAS that provided them with their trikes. POWER PLEAS has been nominated as one of the local charities to receive funding from the Co-op Local Community Fund that receives 1% of all money that customers spend on own-branded goods from 12 November 2017 until 27 October 2018.

Following their recent request for friends to donate to POWER PLEAS in lieu of presents on the occasion of their Golden Wedding Anniversary celebrations, Pat and Ken have raised the magnificent sum of £740 in donations. The charity is truly grateful and hope to mark the occasion when the next Trike is awarded to one of our recipients.

Pat and Ken Harris celebrate 50 years of married life this year. They asked for donations on their 70th birthdays to be given to POWER PLEAS, now as they celebrate their Golden Wedding they are asking friends to give to the Charity again.

The special celebration to mark the contribution of the late Baroness Rachael Heyhoe Flint to the lives of hundreds of local children with mobility problems through the annual collection on Saturday 22 April 2017 was a tremendously happy occasion.
