MAY I warmly thank everyone in last month's Flag Week collection on behalf of the British Red Cross. The total amount raised in Uttlesford was nearly £16,000.

This was a magnificent total, due entirely to the enthusiastic hard work of an army of organisers and collectors as well as the generosity of the public.

In Great Dunmow, the house-to-house collection amounted to £1902.

In Saffron Walden, our house-to-house team raised £1064, and in a street collection added a further £701.

There is never a lack of demand for the wide range of services provided unobtrusively by the Red Cross.

Therefore, it is enormously encouraging to know that our work receives such great support.

Congratulations to everyone who contributed.

John Holford

Flag Week Organiser for Uttlesford
