Vale Photos is helping to raise £10,000 for charity
Throughout 2010 several members of Vale Photos will be participating in sporting events up & down the country, with a view to raising as much money for charity as possible. We will also be raising money through direct donations and online print sales. Our aim is to raise at least £10,000 by the end of 2010, and the money will be split equally between several very worthwhile charities, including Cancer Research and Scope.
