A state of the art changing bed is on its way to Poole-based Langside School for youngsters with special educational needs thanks to a cheque for more than £4000 from the charity appeal of Ferndown’s former mayor, John Lewis.
Although John stepped down from the mayoral role in January this year, he was adamant that his mayor’s charity should not suffer as a consequence.
A significant donation from Ferndown’s Neighbourhood Car Scheme headed up by Ferndown Town Councillor Joyce Little and husband, East Dorset District Councillor, John, boosted the total that was otherwise raised through a series of events and collections in Ferndown.
At the handover, John Lewis made special mention of the fantastic support he had received from the people of Ferndown.
