Pennies from Heaven

The Pennies from Heaven offers everyone in the Trust a simple opportunity to give your pennies to chairity every month. The most anyone contributes is 99 pence each month, and the more people who take part the more we can donate to our chosen charity (the Lingen Davies Relief Fund). Since April 2009 staff at the Trust have donated nearly £1900 to Lingen Davies Cancer Relief Fund through the scheme.
