I’ve managed to add £200 to EF today bringing total to £569 - over half way! My son was due to be competing in the world champs of Irish dance in October (committed months ago) and I had £200 put away to go towards that, his dance teacher has pulled the school out today as doesn’t think it’ll go ahead anyway so I managed to put that straight in to the EF fund.1
