💚 🚲 💚The moment that changed everything!!! Wow I am so very honoured to announce that the Bill Ainscough Foundation have donated £10,000 to Inspire Chorley Youth Zone this means our total now stands at £18,356. Here is the moment grandad told Bill his “why”. Inspire Youth Zone this means with St James Place doubling we will be donating a huge amount to charity, we will update on another post with the total. We would not be happier with this result and many thanks for all donations big and small you have all made a huge difference to these children’s lives. 💚 🚲 💚
