COUNCILLOR BARRY GARNER, Chair of Blaby District Council, invited me to his Official Reception where he spoke about his two nominated local charities – Community Action Fund for Youth (CAFFY) and VISTA, the society for blind people.

Both of these are very worthy of support so if you can afford to send a donation please do so. Barry Garner, a very accessible chairman, is available to attend any events, no matter how big or small. To invite him to your event contact Lucy Wheeler, Civic Engagement and Events Officer on 0116 272 7512.
