WI thanks anonymous helper

Posted by Hannah Webster on Sep 15, 08 01:16 PM in Charity/voluntary

Ottershaw Women's Institute says it would like to thank whoever left a box of "goodies" to send to soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq on member Betty Holloway's doorstep.

Mrs Holloway, of Fletcher Road, Ottershaw, said she found the box a few days after the Herald's story about the WI sending gifts to soldiers last month.

She said the box contained aftershave, soap, a comb and other toiletries, and included a note saying the person had enjoyed the story in the newspaper and would like to donate something to the troops, but the note was unsigned.

We'd like to hear from you.
