About Me


Hi
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone that has donated money to me personally or via my fundraising page for 'Childline' (www.justgiving.com/jessicafitzgerald). Over two hundred pounds has been raised, and all funds will go toward this invaluable service.
Once again, thank you for kindness, generosity and interest. For more information on Childline, its services, ways you can donate or become a volunteer (counselling or in administration) please go to:
