An Aycliffe pensioner took the trouble to visit Newton Press Offices to make a donation of £5 to the  Appeal. Thank you – every penny counts and the Appeal Committee are so grateful. In  addition to rasing cash last weekend selling cakes and Hot dogs, Tesco donated £100 to the Appeal. Businesses and Town organisations are urged to organise a special fundraiser for the appeal.
