‘This year we have also arranged for a face painter to be in store from 1.30pm for anyone who really wants to get into the spirit of the day.’ Raffle tickets for the event are on sale now at 25p a ticket, or five for £1, with all proceeds going to the charity. Prizes that have been donated, include a three-course meal for two at Albert’s Table in South Croydon, two tickets to Jongleurs comedy night at Tiger Tiger, 10 tickets for Lazer Tag at the London Trocadero and 4 Ball Golf at Addington Court.
