South Holland Rotary Club members invited to Downing Street Kids for Kids 23rd birthday event meeting Chancellor Jeremy Hunt and Dame Joanna Lumley

Rotary members enjoyed a trip to 10 Downing Street to celebrate a children’s charity special anniversary.

Richard and Sue Baker from South Holland Rotary Club, Spalding were delighted to be invited to Number 10 to attend the Kids for Kids 23rd birthday event where they met Chancellor Jeremy Hunt and patron Dame Joanna Lumley.

The club has supported Kids for Kids for many years.

Mr Hunt welcomed all and said how impressed he was by Kids for Kids and wanted to thank everyone for their commitment and the incredible difference the charity has made to the lives of children in and around Darfur, Sudan.

Despite the continued conflict there are now 110 kids for kids’ villages and the ethos is to provide sustainable aid such as goats, chickens, water hand pumps and education with support such as midwives and veterinary assistance.

The club along with colleagues from the Lutterworth and Sleaford clubs have raised money to install a pump for a village.
