TARGET ACHIEVED!!
Give your heart to Haiti
As previously reported, Friends of Occold School raised £365.15 towards the Haiti Disaster Fund from their 'Nearly New Sale'. Following an appeal on this web site, generous Occoldians donated a further £90 and the £490 required for a Rotary Club ShelterBox was topped up with a very generous donation from Rackham's Funeral Service.

Tanya Regan receives a cheque from Andrew Fairweather of Rackham's Funeral Service (courtesy Diss Express, 5 Mar).....

.....and a cheque for the total raised is handed to Chris Sharpe, President of High Suffolk Rotary Club together with Occold's own Brian Hull
