Santander has kindly decided to help us realise an important project along with our local school, Great Ponton Primary School. Today they have run a bake sale to continue their commitment of raising funds for getting the children transport to St Pancras. Below is the email we sent to Brandy McCabe, Branch Manager at Santander, to share our idea for the project and ask for their support.
