Fellow #Peterborough organisation @greenbackyard had a difficult week - lots of tools and other items stolen. If you can spare a bit of money, do help them get back into shape! Please share far and wide. bit.ly/2qeHR8h THANK YOU

I was gutted to hear about the recent break-in at @greenbackyard, particularly when they do so much for the local community. There's a fundraising page here to help them repair the damage for anyone else that wants to help. wonderful.org/appeal/helpusr…
