             Support in The Gambia
The society heard of a family in The Gambia, who with 19 children to support, were having difficulties. The members raised money to install water in their compound thereby alleviating numerous visits to the village tap and allowing cultivation of a small patch of land joining their home by growing bananas.  This gave nutrition to the children and also allowed surplus fruit to be sold raising additional cash..  DHL  kindly transported, on two separate occasions, large boxes of children’s clothes and toys donated by members which were greatly appreciated by the society and the family.
 We then set out to raise sufficient money to put a roof on an extension to their home and this we achieved in October 2004.
 However this was just a drop in the ocean and we found we could help reach a much larger portion of the population by supporting. GAFSIP -  Gambia & Avon Fire Service in Partnership, which was set up in 1991  by David Hutchings and in conjunction with Avon Fire Authority, who donate redundant fire vehicles and equipment, together with educational and health materials for use in the Gambia.  Severn Counties made a donation of £200 in 2005 to help towards these costs and invited David Hutchings to the Open Meeting on the 15th March 2007 to accept a further cheque for £400.

The Society would like to thank all it’s Members for their generosity over the year’s,  giving help to so many
