Louise Roberts is raising money to send children to Blackpool
A mum was stunned by the response when she appealed for help to brighten the lives of children in her community.
Louise started a GoFundMe with the title "Let’s send 85 local children to Blackpool for free." This began after a Facebook post about the trip led her to receive 300 messages with people supporting the idea and hoping to send their children. Louise believes that it is this online presence that has helped kickstart her community work having started after she was asked while in the gym if she would help send children from the community to Snowdon.
Part of the motivation behind her work has been the support she received from the Netherton community when her young son wanted to raise money for a cancer charity, successfully raising £1,000.
