Cllr Jed Hillary, husband of the Town Mayor Wendy, is seeking help in an attempt to create a line of 2 pence pieces measuring a kilometre in support of the Mayor’s Charities.
All he needs is lots and lots of tuppenny bits to support The Cruse Bereavement Counselling Service and the School Benevolent Fund for County Durham, which provides grants for winter coats and shoes for children from low income families.
The Tuppenny Bit Challenge will take place at the Great Aycliffe Show on Saturday and Sunday 23rd/24th August 2014. Jed asks you to start hoarding your tuppenny bits and bring them along to the Show. Your generosity will be very much appreciated.
