🎉 Huge congratulations to Joyce and James, an incredible mother-and-son team, on completing the Cutty Sark Rig Climb and raising an amazing £865 in aid of SNAP! 👏💙

It’s wonderful to see families supporting families. Every pound raised helps SNAP continue to support, nurture and partner with families whose children have additional needs or disabilities, providing compassion, guidance and hope when it’s needed most.

Thank you, Joyce and James, for taking on this challenge and helping to make a difference to SNAP families. What an amazing achievement! 🧗‍♀️🧗‍♂️👏
