If you are flying to Southampton in the next few days you may be able to help orphaned children in South Africa at the same time.
An 'Outreach' programme to help grandmothers who are caring for their orphaned grandchildren has been well supported in the Island.

The Reverend Ginny Viner, who is behind the campaign, hopes the work won’t be undermined (audio file attached):
