Emma Richards, supported by her sister Amy, completed the 5km Cotswold Lake Outdoor Swim in the Summer and they raised over £500 in sponsorship. Well done and thank

The Good Shepherd School continues to go from strength to strength. On this occasion w...

Once again I visited our two projects in Uganda in February.
