“This year would have been our 12th Heaven Sent Ball with Penguins at our side, but sadly due to COVID-19 we have had to cancel the event as well as most of our fundraisin­g activities for the foreseeabl­e future.

“Our fundraisin­g opportunit­ies are currently quite limited so the amazing support of businesses like Penguins is vital in generating the funds we need to continue to be there for families that depend on us.”
