Salisbury Child Contact centre, you bet!

I'm delighted to say that Salisbury Child Contact centre are £107 better off, thanks to Ladbrokes, who this week paid out on the charity bet I placed with them back in November last year.

With both Salisbury City FC and Southampton FC flying in their respective leagues, I opted for a double on both to win promotion. Later the same day, I met Liz Sirman from the Child Contact Centre and promised that, if I came up trumps, the money would be hers.

Saints obliged early, giving me all the more reason to celebrate The Whites' thrilling last-gasp play-off victory!

Salisbury's child contact centre provides a safe, neutral meeting place for children whose parents have broken up in the most difficult of circumstances so that they can retain a relationship with their absent parent.

As a small charity, entirely reliant on a small band of volunteers, I am hopeful that the money will buy the children a good selection of toys and games to enjoy with their mums and dads.
