I WAS very impressed by the features in last Thursday's GUARDIAN showing how many groups and individuals in Warrington had taken part in this year's Children in Need Appeal, raising thousands of pounds.

This shows how generous and warm-hearted Warrington people are. Over the past six months the Consort and I have travelled widely across the borough and seen many examples of the commitment to charity and voluntary work. I hope the GUARDIAN will continue to give these groups the recognition they deserve.
