Linda Cann, a Slide Away Trustee, joined members of the Rotary Club of Tobridge and received a cheque from their President Sonia Williams, who commented 'In my working life I have shared the sadness of a number of children who were having difficulty coming to terms with loss, so I am very happy we can contribute to Slide Away and its work.'

SLIDE AWAY'S CHRISTMAS QUIZ
A huge thank you to everyone who took part in Slide Away’s first Christmas Quiz. I hope you all found it entertaining, if a little challenging. It has been a real pleasure hearing from participants who have said they enjoyed the quiz, although it may have been a little harder than I perhaps intended!
I am delighted to say we raised in excess of £1,000 for this first year’s efforts which will be a great contribution to the fantastic work Slide Away does in helping children at possibly the worst moment in their life. On behalf of the Trustees may I thank you all for your kind donations.
Click here are the answers to the quiz.
You will see we had a couple of answers to one or two questions which I have allowed. Well done to the prize winners. For those of you who agreed to take part again we will send you this year’s Quiz later in the year. If anyone did not tick the box allowing us to send them the Quiz but would like their name added to the mailing list, please let us know.
Wishing you a very happy and successful 2019,
Stephen Beck
Trustee
