Walsall Fibro and ME held a fundraising day organised by Denise Deacey and her daughter Ella at the community room in Hanover Court, Bentley, on Saturday 10 August 2019. There were delicious home baked cakes, fun games such as tombola, guessing how many sweets are in a jar, a raffle and handmade cards and bags for sale. A total of £245 was raised on the day. Congratulations to members of the Walsall support group and everyone who helped with the stalls, and especially Ella whose idea it was in the first place.

However, the Government announced in a written statement that the maximum tuition fee will remain at £9,250 for the 2020-21 academic year. Some parents can afford to pay the tuition fees up front. This really is a tale of two Britains.
