With the help of Greenfields Family Centre, the financial support from the Dalton Ward Cllrs, TSL Kirklees Volunteering and Syngenta plus everybody who kindly donated additional items for residents/families, we have managed to deliver another successful Christmas appeal which has made a huge difference to families and individuals across the Dalton Ward. A special thank you goes out to Lesley Stephenson at Greenfields for overseeing the whole operation again, without her all of this wouldn’t have been possible.
