“The second Amigos Fun Day was a roaring success,” said Phil Puglsey, CEO of Amigos.
“All of the teams had a great laugh and numerous families enjoyed the games and stalls in the sunshine.
“We’re extremely grateful to all of our sponsors, in particular Applegate, and to all of the volunteers who helped make the day happen.
“At Amigos we love the fact that by having a brilliant time people can change lives.
“Well over £3,000 was raised on the day, all of which will go directly to our projects in Uganda to help young people who have been affected issues such as poverty, war and HIV.”
