As usual we will be collecting for Aquabox. Donations may be made during the procession
for this locally organised charity. Special boxes are filled with clothes, medicine and
equipment, and sent to disaster areas worldwide. Once emptied, the boxes are used as
filter tanks to provide a clean, safe water supply.
Have fun – but be safe!
The Procession will be stewarded, but please be aware of the potential dangers processing along and crossing busy roads.
Please follow stewards’ instructions. Parents/carers are responsible for their children.
