We have been so completely blown away by the love and support from so many people which has meant that we have reached our Crowdfunding target of £30,000!!
We want to thank everyone who has shared, donated, emailed, messaged or set up their own fundraiser; it's just absolutely phenomenal!!!
This means we will end our financial year having not made any loss in income versus expenditure and we couldn't have done this without every single one of you! Thank you!!!
We know we still have lots of work to do and we will keep on working hard to ensure that Sunshine & Smiles is here for many, many years to come!!
If anyone still wanted to donate, the Crowdfunding page is still live here: https://www.givengain.com/campaign/sunshineandsmilesand21co.crowdfunder
