DBID Project Director Phil Gordon commented “It was such a nice gesture I felt that we had to get a little extra recognition for Lily – How lovely that she wanted to donate some of her prize money to support Weldmar, I think some children might just buy a bigger toy! I know her Nan and rest of her family are so proud of her – So they should be! Lily seems to be a very helpful young lady as she also does errands and house chores for elderly neighbours too”
