In 1989 we decided that we would undertake to support a local charity every year, following the success of our Tercentenary Appeal, in 1988, to send a group of disadvantaged local children on a Send a Child to Hucklow holiday. We raise money through donations, sponsored walks, sale of goods, lunches and coffee mornings.
