Back in October my dad ran a charity conker competition to raise money for ELHAP. It was a brilliant day and the money raised went towards their amazing work for children in the community. Dad would've been so happy to know that in his passing some good could be done for this amazing charity that he himself supported. However much you would like to donate will go such a long way, thank you.
