HYFC had to postpone their annual bath push because of the weather. The event will go ahead either in February or March.

Members of HYF went carol singing to past members, the advisory committee and current members’ parents and raised £265 which will be donated to Meningitis UK. Many thanks to those who invited the singers out of the cold into their homes.
