The new NSPCC Full-Stop Campaign
We're proud to be supporting the latest campaign by the NSPCC to stamp out child cruelty across Leicestershire.
In the last year there's been 39 reported cases in the county, although it's thought dozens of others have gone unreported.
The NSPCC wants us to visit their new website to show our support. The Market Harborough and District Fundraising Group are also on the look out for new volunteers to help their work locally. If you're interested in helping call Barbara on 01780 471007.

The Eva Winston-Hart Cord Blood Storage bid
It's thanks to Eva Winston-Hart that HFM is on air, as the three year old officially switched us on back in February!
At that time Eva was suffering from a rare form of Leaukaemia, but since then she has had a stem cell transplant to make her better.
The stem cells were taken from an umbilical cord, which was stored in a US cord public bank, after being donated by the parents of a little boy born in America just five months before Eva’s diagnosis.
Currently the UK stores less than 1% of our available cord blood in a public bank and this needs to change.
Eva's family have launched a petition which they will present to the government, to highlight the need for investment in cord blood storage. Your signature will make a difference.
Here at HFM we're acting as the central point for all petitions to be returned to.
Download the petition by clicking below and get people in your workplace, pub, club or school to sign it!
