of helping
Violet also teaches pupils that personal development and good manners should be prized over punching prowess. Several students attending the club have co-ordination problems, and the weekly classes have helped them fight their own daily battles.
Violet said, “In our school we have people who have learning difficulties or co-ordination problems and some who are autistic.
“We can help them deal with these things, but the children in the hospice can’t do that. Raising money at the Fun Day is our way of encouraging them to do their best.”
She proudly presented a cheque for £820 to CHAS representative Keith Campbell, who helped man the CHAS stall to the tune of another £112 on the day.
