A huge thank you to everyone who bought raffle tickets and supported the Pledge for Pakistan appeal. Together we have raised a fantastic total of £3,038.92 for the children and families of Pakistan...

Some very lucky colleagues won some incredible prizes in the raffle which alone raise over £1500. We were delighted that the Kaiser Chiefs and the Pigeon Detectives were so generous along with many others. The drum skin from the Kaiser Chiefs and the back issue from the Pigeon Detectives were great prizes and will have made someone very happy this weekend.

I am particularly grateful to the Lord Mayor who came to my office to draw the raffle. I hope that this will be the first of many collections and ideas to raise money for the Pakistan relief victims who have lost so much having had so little to start with.
