Hannah & Clay’s wedding day.
Money raised in the “guess the length of the Best Man’s Speech competition” was donated to Grace by guest at Hannah and Clay Moule’s wedding. Many thanks for the donation of £82. |

The reason why I donated!
Having moved away from Dorchester 3 years ago, I haven't been able to attend any of the fabulous fund raising events that supported the Charity. Following the charity through Richard's facebook updates, and realising what amazing work is being done with the money, I decided that when I was given my first bonus from work, a donation towards the Grace Secondary School charity was a well deserved and sensible thing to do with the money. I am very much looking forward to seeing the huts being built in Poundbury when i return home for a visit!
