This Christmas, Lottie has made a very clear decision not to accept any Christmas presents but to collect donations for the London based charity Kids Company. Lottie did some research and discovered that Kids Company is currently under threat because of cuts in funding. They are being kept afloat by support from J K Rowling and Coldplay. She has now set up a JustGiving donations page and her parents are going to let her check it on Christmas Day. We have put this in the newsletter as we know that many families very generously donate to charities at this time of year and we would like to support Lottie and we hope that she will be very pleased on Christmas Day when she checks the page. Here is the link to her Just Giving page in aid of Kids Company. http://www.justgiving.com/LottieThorpe/?utm_source=Sharethis&utm_medium=fundraisingpage& utm_content=Lottie-Thorpe&utm_campaign=pfp-email.
