For Disabled People
To raise money for the Disabled People’s fund five Denaby girls; Sandra Leak (12), Glynis Wake (11), Dorcas Allen (11), Carol Cooke (10) and her friend Lynn held a jumble sale last week which raised £7. The effort was held at the home of Glynis’ grandmother Mrs. Elisabeth Wake of 28 Denaby Avenue.
She told the south Yorkshire times that last year a concert was organised to raise money but this year it had been decided to hold a jumble sale.
