As some of you would have heard a local family were the victims of a hoffic house fire this afternoon. Thankfully, no one was home and neighbours and a passer by managed to rescue the families dogs.

however, this fire has completely destroyed their kitchen and the rest of the house and belongings have suffered bad smoke damage.

This is a horrible incident to have happen at the best of times but is made so much worse by being so close to Christmas.

Both Holly and Sam work hard for our community, Holly is the head of a local schools PTA and Sam runs Revamp The Ramps and now the community would like to help them.

This money would go towards replacing essential household items and helping make sure the family has the best Christmas they can given the circumstances.
