After a chance meeting with G Wathall & Son Limited in Allenton, during one of their events to raise funds for the Laura Centre Derby, Linda Pritchard was inspired to raise some much need funds for the charity.

Linda and 16 of her colleagues from Prime Health Care, Derby decided to donate to the charity instead of sending Christmas cards to each other.

Jemma Murphy, community fund raiser for the Laura Centre Derby popped along to G Wathall & Son Limited to receive the money from Linda.

Every penny counts and the £65.00 (6500 pennies) raised by Linda and her colleagues will pay for two hours worth of client counselling after the death of a child.
