This year, as co- chair of a registered charity, the Betty Layward PTFA, I thought it only right and proper that I raise some cash for our kids' primary school. Based in Hackney, Betty Layward Primary School is a great place, with a fantastic bunch of teachers and amazing children.

There are loads of things we need to raise money for; new books, playground equipment, sports gear, IT equipment, coach travel. The list goes on and on….

Please do donate if you can; it means a load to me but a whole lot more to a remarkable set of young children who are eager to learn, hugely enthusiastic and a massive laugh!
