MAY I through your columns thank those residents of Hayes, Northwood, Ickenham and Eastcote for their generous support for our recent Save the Children appeal.

A total of £1,704.75 was raised from house-to-house collections, plus our open day event early in May.

This money will be well spent, helping children in desperate need, including many involved in the recent cyclone disaster in Burma.

Fortunately, The Save The Children Fund is one of the few UK charities accepted by the Burmese authorities and was well placed having its own staff working there when the disaster struck.

KEITH HAYWARD,

Pinn Way, Hayes
