Huge thanks to Les McKeown for auctioning off his favourite red stage jacket on ebay to raise funds which went to Broomhouse School's fundraising project, The Big Project.

The £800 raised both by auctioning off the jacket, a transatlantic phonecall and kind donations from Les' fans on both sides of the Atlantic will benefit many of the children at Broomhouse Primary, where Les himself went to school in the 1960s.

Annie Van Bebber has been a supporter of KidsCharities since its inception. Please log on to her website HERE to see the fabulous work she does, and in particular, please click on www.npltv.com to find out why she is travelling across the Atlantic next Spring.
