‘I am part of a Masonic Lodge, the Taverners Lodge, and we had two chosen charities for 2017, one of which was The Children’s Bubbles Fund.
‘We did various fundraising events throughout the year like a raffle, a race night and ladies’ night.
‘Service at QA has always been exceptional – there’s plenty to do for kids – this money will go towards continuing that.’
